Our first morning in Columbia, Nancy & I walked down the beach to a small fishing village.

Later that afternon and again the next morning we walked around Cartegna.  Here`s a view of the city from La Popa.

Great Grey Owl

Normally a resident of forests far north of the Canada' southernmost town, Kingsville, Ontario, this owl showed up shortly before Christmas 2011.  It is about 2 feet tall with a wing span of about 5 feet.   I had the opportunity to go to Kingsville on January 2, 2012.

Boiler

This boiler was in a dark room, so dark that the first time I visited I didn't really know what I was shooting.

Canadian Southern Railway Station

Originally build between 1871 and 1873, this building is in the midst of a major restoration.  It was built as the Canadian Southern Railway station in St Thomas and the company's headquarters.  The station is about 350 feet long but only 35 feet deep.  Each of the two floors have ceiling heights of 16 feet.  There is a basement and an attic that run the full length of the building.  Currently the building has had about two thirds of the main floor refurbished with space for office administration and a public reception hall which is now booked for 24 months.  Upstairs there is office space rented to lawyers, our MPP and numerous non-profit organizations.  Lots is done but there is still many areas yet to complete.
