I love Engrish

, and I can forgive non-English speaking countries for errors - I'm not that much of a fascist. Besides, I doubt I could render a sentence in Mandarin/Bahasa/Malay with the kind of maniacal accuracy I demand with English...

Here's a sign for you Mark, proudly mounted outside a local grocery store. An extra bit was added shortly before Canadian Thanksgiving:

New store hours. We NEVER close:
Open 24/7 - seven days a week.
CLOSED THANKSGIVING

(one feels sorry for the more poorly run stores that are open 24/7 only six days a week.)

Here, just for you George, is a picture of a house in my town owned by a local surgeon. Not included is his neighbouring brother's house (a cardiologist) who vies for Christmas supremacy each year. Sibling rivalry.

... and here's a couple more from our Atlantic shores. These are photos from a weather webpage, submitted by local folk. We rarely get a white Christmas here. But this year the snow came -- just like we ordered -- on December 23rd.

This photo was taken on February 2, 2012 using a Nikon D3S.

Can even see the greenhouses that illuminate the sky on a cloudy night (

This is my niece on her family's property on scenic Cape Breton Island. Her parents aren't pro photographers but I thought this photo's composition is quite good.

Some photos I took during my 6am morning run. I usually wouldn't stop, but the view was too beautiful to miss out on. Shot with Samsung Galaxy S phone camera..

Buns are wrapped by hand, right? What is the cleaver doing in the middle?

My first attempt at shooting with a model.. during sunset hours

I made a huge mistake of forgetting to bring my portrait lenses with me, so I ended up shooting with an ultra-wide angle and I ended up with no space in this frame to place a reflector on the right side behind camera to eliminate some shadows, but I'm still pleased with the result for now........
