It's been two weeks, so I thought I'd try and play catch-up.
The top six on this page represent views of the pond on the property of
the hospital where I work as well as our little garden pond, one of our
petunias, and the little frog who's decided to move into our pond.
We've named him Kermit because, well, he's a frog.

There is an old 1912 railroad depot on the former Grand Trunk Western
rail line that runs through our town. The Canadian National bought GTW
years ago. The depot hasn't actually been used as a depot in decades,
and the CN wanted it gone. However, instead of demolishing it, they
gave it to the local technical school who is going to use it as a
workshop for trades students. They will restore the exterior, and then
remodel the interior partly into a museum, and partly into a classroom.
It's been jacked up, moved off the foundation, and put onto hydraulic
dollies. They moved it down to the end of the block earlier this week -
the actual move across the tracks and onto the new foundation at the
school will happen on Monday (the school is only 2 blocks away from the
original location).

The photo of the job foreman didn't really turn out like what I had in
my head - I think what I needed was to go full-wide on the 12-50 and get
up really close to him. However, since the building was already resting
on 5-foot-high cribbing, I would have had to use a really low angle and
pretty much look up his nose to get any recognizeable building in the
background. What I had visualized was much more of him filling the
frame with more building fading away behind him.
Enjoy. C&C always encouraged.
