Beautiful part of the world

I absolutely love it here, I prefer this setting over western Canada's Rocky Mountains and pristine rivers. Timing is key for the best colours, the maples turn early before most other trees, bringing in predominantly red colours, ranging from pinkish to rouge. The first week of October is prime, a little earlier further north and  little later in the populated areas of Toronto/ Niagara and the shores of Lake Ontario

Is that park area all secondary growth logged forest as only seems  to be small trees?

 

 

I would say so, Ontario wss quite remote until the automobile came in, but this area was populated prior to that era and logging/ milling went hand in hand with habitation across the board here

I often do breakdowns for 2 2 guys nicest guys you'd meet and the scariest guys you'd meet

some people are the highest level of what they are. The world needs more people like this to level the playing field when things get absurd

He was an amazing character by all accounts. One previous customer of mine was ex military and obsessed with Paddy Mayne, he collected stuff but it was all related to Mayne. He had some rugby stuff as well as the military items, his most prized item was a document signed by Paddy.

Definitely an interesting character. Can't beat signed memorabilia.

This is a system of caves where the edge of the Escarpment broke off and created a sulystrm of crevices in the rock. The natives used to use the cold deep crevices to keep food cold. Temperatures would remain at 5C til July

Possibly the closest thing in the UK is this:

 

 

 

Been there a few times, and the scale is amazing.

 

Took the family once, on the visitor tour thing, which busses you deep right into the workings.

 

Typically, they were singularly unimpressed!

 

Thats a big project! Much bigger than Niagara. I was guessing that one of the tubes was for pumping water back up because the lake is clearly not self sustaining for the volume of water needed

 @Ontario Firewood Resource  Cheers for that Anthony, it was pretty slick (but then I’ve always been a sucker for a power plant tour)

Thank you, I'm blessed to live relatively close by. Lots to discover on future visits. Ill see if I can get a tour of the modern plant

Really enjoyed that .

 Thanks for posting.

Thank you, it was a great experience even though I've been there about 20 times before

definitely heart-wrenching. There was more than one loss, more costlier than the other

I caught the tail end of his build and some usage. I gave Joe some strength after losing his dad and he has come a long way and I've driven him to get himself out there. because of his passed down talents.

I went to visit my friend to see his homemade wood boiler and sawmill. He got the design of the sawmill from Matthew Cremona

I did a video on the Avro Lancaster out of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario Canada recently.I will be doing more material on WWII in the future. I will be touring my workspace which is an original building in a complex that was Established by King George in 1940 to assemble arms for WWII. There are accessible tunnels which I hope to tour once the weather gets warmer.

Just trying to get traffic to his site.

actually I have the formula and I don't really need you to keep me afloat. However, I thought you might enjoy. The firewood crowd on this side of the pond are much more appreciative.

In Ireland as well. Waining sunlight but warm temps, the leaves just fell off green or stayed on and turned brown... personally it doesn't bother me, I'll take brown leaves over freezing temps any time. I do feel sorry for the fashion catalog photographers though.

I;m a little Irish, descended from those who came to Trinidad. Some trees are still green here. I hate the winter so bring on the warm fall. One year here, it was like summer till the end of October. Last year was kinda wet, can't quite remember, but doing a lot of salmon and steelhead fishing tells me so. I wish I did my filming last year, as well as at Niagara. Would've been too windy for the drone last year, it was hot and when its a lot warmer than it should be, its always windy
