Week 30: Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

So I spent the last weekend in Toronto, and so didn't get a chance to update my blog on time, and then spent some time working on a blog redesign that is finally live (see betaphotos.blogspot.com for the updated design).

Anyhow. Without further ado (for both people who read my blog) here is this weeks shot.

Week 24: Monday, June 14th, 2010

So I spent the last week at the Canadian Obesity Network Student Conference, held here in Ottawa. It was a great time and I really enjoyed the experience.

This shot was taken on the final day of the conference, when we all took a boat cruise down the Rideau Canal from downtown to Lago (a bar located on Dow's Lake). The place is really spiffy - there's a giant window that looks out onto Dow's Lake and it has an absolutely beautiful view through the day.

I took this shot as we approached Dow's Lake. The buildings in the background are those of Carleton University - Canada's Capital University. Not to be confused with the University of Ottawa - Canada's University. Yeah. Those are their *actual* slogans.

Week 5: Sunday, January 31, 2010

So this week I couldn't decide between two pictures I took, so both of them are up here.

The first one I tried to make a little "darker" and attempted to go for a more "sinister" feel. You might have to click on it to get the full effect of it, but hopefully that came across. I don't know what those trees are called, although with two years of Ecology under my belt, you'd think I'd recognize it. Maybe one of you guys will be able to help me out.



The second picture was of some berries I saw randomly. I didn't realize they'd be able to survive given the current weather conditions, but I guess they can. Anyhow. The red of the berries really caught my eye, so I took a picture of them. UPDATE: Apparently, these are rosehips, not berries. Thanks to Yemisi for the correction! :)


As always, I welcome your comments. Happy February!

Week 4: Sunday, January 24, 2010

So my Canadian friends are aware of a simple law that exists during our wonderful Northern winters. If it is bright and sunny outside, with nary a cloud in the sky, thou shalt be chilled to the bone, regardless of the number of layers of clothing you're wearing.

With this I present Week 4's picture to you. I've tried to capture the soul-sucking depression that comes hand in hand with Canadian winters, so let me know what you think.

Note: I actually don't mind winter too much. I'm trying to learn how to skate, and one day will finally get back on snowboard. If you're going, and want company for either of those activities, let me know :)
