A 'fun' film

I just cut a trailer for a new blockbuster film that should be out in cinemas.

Local U3A Camera Club

A few weeks ago, Diane and I were asked if we would tutor the brand new Logan University of the 3rd Age Camera Club. So every second Wednesday, we gather with a group of like-minded amateur photographers and camera persons where we help each other and learn from each other.

The first meeting at the Logan North Library

The second meeting was an outing to Underwood Park

My grandson Fox is visiting

While Bernie, his daddy, is in Los Angeles, Sonya and Fox, together with aunty Carol-Ann jumped on a plane to come up for a visit. We just love having them here. So at the moment everyone is working for the man:-

More Chateauneuf du Pape

We have visitors. Both our daughters have come up from Sydney to stay a few days with our grandson Fox. To celebrate the four of us being together, I splurged out on a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape, well, it's been a while since both of them have been here together. You'll see lots more pictures, especially of little Fox.

Cheers and good health!

Nectar of the gods

Butchard Gardens, Vancouver Island

Someone asked me the other day about Butchart Gardens and if we've been there. So I cut this little clip together of some of my footage while we visited the Gardens.

More about the Banff Springs Hotel

The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is a former Railway hotel constructed in the Scottish Baronial style. The original hotel was designed by American Architect Bruce Price and was built between 1887 and 1889 by the Canadian Pacific Railway at the instigation of its president William Cornelius van Horne.

During the construction, van Horne discovered that the builder had accidentially built the hotel the wrong way around so that it turned its back on the mountain view. In 1906 it was decided to completely overhaul the building, replacing much of the original structure.

Flight to Taku Lodge

From Juneau we took a floatplane flight over several glaciers to the Taku Wilderness Lodge for a salmon lunch. The flight was spectacular and so was lunch at the lodge but the best thing of all you'll see 1.38 minutes into the video. My personal highlight of the whole trip.
