Thanks, he was a very beautiful, very large bird. Great look from him too, like I should be lucky to be in his presence. :)

next assignment - get him to smile :D

Went on a Ghost tour in Niagara on the Lake tonight. I dunno if it's dust or orbs but here are some of my better pictures.

this is Johnny's house in the Dead Zone. No lie. Walken and Cronenberg stood in this house :D proof: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085407/locations

The gazebo from the dead zone and what I think is an orb by Tressa, my cousin's wife and the tour guide of the night.

Big post, sorry. Last one I promise. My cousin Tom dressed up in a robe and held a lantern while Tressa told us all the stories of the gazebo. She then explained about how every 5 years a man comes to search for the souls of his loved ones lost at sea, and that we came on a very special night and get to meet him. She instructed all 50 of us on the tour to shake his hand and say "Hello my name is...." as a custom. When it got to his girlfriend Val he pulled off his hood and proposed. It was sweet.

Great pics overall, and the tour sounds like a blast. The boyfriend and I will have to do one of those Haunted Boston tours at some point... I have to admit that I like the proposal story the best... Did she have any idea he was about to pop the question? That's pretty spectacular.

she had no clue. her first words were "fuck off.' then "shut. up." then "are you serious?" about 10 times, then finally "yes" and she didn't stop talking about it all night. The ride home was crazy.

My camera was acting up so bad all night. Outside the apothecary I replaced by batteries and then my camera just kept turning off until we walked away from the building. the camera worked fine until outside the Dead Zone house, then said low on battery and the flash wouldnt work. Outside the Oban Inn my camera said low battery and i couldn't get more than about 3 pics. walked across the street far enough away to not get any pictures and it was fine again. stupid ghosts.

Tommy, Val, Derek and I are doing a Halloween tour of Fort George in October, and maybe the Haunted Forest walk in Ancaster before then. It's so much fun.

As some of you may know I'm a qualified Junior Advanced Open Water Diver with PADI (I'll lose the junior when I'm 15. Then I'll be able to go down another ten metres ((Currrently, I can do 21M)) )

Anyway, in Tenerife we did 2 dives. One with Sea Turtles and one looking for Rays (didn't see any). Anyway, here's a few pics.

Here's me giving a thumbs up, when I suddenly realised that's the sign for "Ascend". I changed it to okay but only after the pic was taken.

Here's an anenome (What Nemo lives in). Pretty cool to look at.

Me and my Dad, who's also an advanced open water diver, looking at one of the smaller turtles. He was searching for food under the rock.

And finally, our good friend the Triggerfish. That thing would be one of the most dangerous things in the ocean if it were bigger. That thing that looks like lips, is a beak with razor sharp teeth and it's incredibly territorial and aggressive, continually biting our cameras and loose straps.

nice shots ..

i have a few from snorkling in Grand Caymans i should scan - but i wasnt happy with them ... when i was scuba diving i only had a video camera - using a still camera when snorkling sucks.

Awesome underwater shots Ferrett

Thanks. They were amazing dives.
