Port Colborne Harbour

Port Colborne, Ontario

We spent the day yesterday in Port Colborne at the end of the Welland Canal (it was a long weekend on Ontario). Yesterday was the annual “Canal Days” festival.  It was a great day, lots to see and do.  We took a 90 minute cruise on a sailboat into Lake Erie.  On the way out of the harbour I took this shot of a fireboat making its way back to Buffalo, New York as it passed one of the flour mills along the canal.

note: the tower is straight, the earth is crooked….

Update – I just noticed, all the wheels of the reefer are off the track! geez…

Elevated Tower

Laser Cut Structure

Not much modeling for the next while for me. 🙁

I thought I would post a shot of a project I did a while back. This elevated crossing tower is based on a Canadian National prototype that sat in London, Ontario. I worked from an image in one of Ian Wilson’s books to get the proportions correct.
