Tonight I went out around midnight with my dSLR and a tripod and found a patch of snow around the Burns Monument in Beacon Hill Park. The last time I shot this statue was 5 years and 9 days ago. Back then I just called the monument “Drooling lion.” In those days, the internets was […]

victoria’s time to vote
Today (after I sleep) will be the day that Victoria decides on a new city councilor, as well as the fate of the Johnson Street Bridge. The bridge issue has been argued about a significant amount locally. It’s actually pretty entertaining and we have almost enough material for our own version of Almost Live. (Remember […]
in need of an exorcism?
As seen in Vancouver at Davie and Denman in late August. I would have used red instead of blue for “You may be possessed!” – would get the fear and impatience going a bit faster. I should note that I came across a similar flyer in Trinidad, except it was a guru there. I’m sure […]

In September, I started full time courses to finish off a BBA in Marketing Communications Management. I am challenging one course, doing 3 courses at Camosun College, and one […]
Pitch Lake, La Brea, Trinidad
So I drove down the west coast of Trinidad and found this lake made up of tar. It’s called Pitch Lake in La Brea. Good story eh?
Mayaro Bay, Trinidad
Mayaro Beach on Mayaro Bay, Trinidad Much like its neighbour to the north, Mayaro Bay is sparse in visitors. It’s fairly far out of the way, but the roads are actually quite good with the exception of a few patches. For some reason these roads were made fairly well. I’m guessing it has something to […]
manzanilla beach, trinidad
looking north, where we came from I found another place that doesn’t seem to have much of a wikipedia entry! Manzanilla Beach is on the east coast of Trinidad, facing the Atlantic Ocean. This one is a bit of a drive to get to, and we drove through some pretty horrible weather to get there. […]
las cuevas, trinidad
on de beach Las Cuevas has no wikipedia entry and as such qualifies for some sort of dedicated and detailed entry here. It’s a bit beyond Maracas Beach on the road, maybe 20 minutes or so of driving. It’s not a tourist beach like Maracas, this beach is mostly Trinis (locals.) There’s one shop to […]
