A view of High Park Public Library, on Roncy, here in Toronto, Canada.

Next weekend I will be away on vacation and unable to play along, but I'll be back in two weeks for whatever the theme will be. Until then....Happy weekend fellow photo hunters!

Earlier today I came across a blog called Snarly Skepticism. The blog's name and subject matter caught my interest, and I started reading through some of the entries, which is how I found the post titled, Uber-skeptoid with way too much time on his hands gets libx warning and nearly peed myself while reading it. I assure you had it been much earlier in the day a mouthful of my morning coffee surely would have ended up all over the mothership (my desk) keyboard and monitor.

Go have a read via the link ..... but in a nutshell (the word nut being very apt here) a JREFF regular took it upon himself to rearrange books on the paranormal within his local library to sections that _he_ believed were most appropriate...of course without actually consulting library staff. When caught he was reprimanded, and for some peculiar reason, psuedo-skeptical logic perhaps, was upset at how _he_ was treated for mucking about with their shelves.

Anyway about a month ago I noticed something similar in our local library. I came across some UFO books in the Sci-Fi section, and then I noticed some true ghost story books written by our dear friend, and Order of Canada recipient John Robert Colombo in the mythology section. I pointed this out to Matthew, and we speculated that maybe a new employee was an evangelical Atheist and filing them this way. I even noted that we couldn't find even a single cryptozoological book anymore. Who knows where they were filed.... It was very weird, and now I've got to wonder what is actually going on.

Next time I'm in the library I'm going to check the numbers on the book and see if they match the library catalogue as to where these books should be located. And if not then I'd bet we have a JREFF fan in the neighbourhood who was inspired by this idiot.

A view of Grenadier Pond from High Park, here in Toronto.

High Park is an urban green space that is free for Torontonians, and tourists to use, and enjoy thanks to the kindness, and generosity of George and Jemima Howard who gave the park to the city.

Happy weekend everyone!

I took this pic of an older factory last summer while out for a stroll through an area of Toronto that I had not really explored before. The open windows work with this week's theme.

Happy weekend everyone!

I am saddened, and disgusted by the violence that has happened in Toronto today. Not only has some really good messages that needed to be heard from the majority of protesters been drowned out by the few who decided to trash our city, but small business owners, and people who live in the Queen West area have to suffer because of it.

Ultimately I place the blame on the shoulders of the powers that be who must have known the strong potential (one billion dollars spent on security) for these black bloc anarchists showing up, and still subjected our city to this mayhem, and put the safety of our citizens, and police at risk. Surely there could have been a better place to hold this? And for what, a meeting by leaders where past promises have been broken, and I personally hold out little hope will result in real positive change for our planet.
