Jokioinen Main Street - East view

Jokioinen Main Street - East view
Originally uploaded by odtdevil

Various shots of Jokioinen, Finland are now up! Including 2 annotated photos that amazingly manage to take in the entirety of the sprawling downtown area.

UPDATE. I am an idiot who can't tell east from west. I was facing south, so that is a west view. Gr.

ROM photos

This was neat. Back at the beginning of November we went down to the ROM, where they've completely re-done the natural history galleries. I loved these when I was a kid, but the new displays wowed me with millions-years-old animals floating through the modern white and glass architecture. I ran around with my camera giddly trying to take decent non-flash shots with no tripod. Completely my happy place. Resultant photos are posted here.

As an extra fun epilogue, the free online tour guide Schmap selected the above photo for their ROM article. Thanks guys! Maybe this will give me some incentive to look up what that giant ancient turtle is. I was having way too much fun to stop and read the signs.

Ok, our seats weren't this good but

NIN, Hamilton, Nov 14.

I haven't figured out how to get my own bad photos off my phone. Stupid Rogers won't let me email photos. Stupid Copps Coliseum won't let real cameras in.

Still, they were damn good seats.

Happy Halloween!

Old photos from the Paris Catacombs are now posted here.

It's so great to be back in a country that gets Halloween.

FishPorn is up!

I know, some of you have been waiting years for me to post hot fish photos. They're up now, baby! Check out

Gonads!

Man-on-salmon action!

Money shots!

For those more into horror, there's also lots of death and mutilation and deformities. Just in time for Halloween! You're welcome.

(Some animals were harmed during filming, but never for the express purpose of filming. Fish in these photos were either drugged or slaughtered according to industry standards.)

Things I Like About Finland 4: OMG HEDGEHOGS!!!

Cutest animals ever. These little guys waddled around my friend Lucia's patio one evening in Jokioinen.





Aww.

Unfortunately I never managed to see one when I had a camera. Thanks to Lucia for the photos!
