quaint, quirky, questionable photos by a newbie shutterbug

A hay baler – I think that’s the name for it – sits next to a recently mowed hay field. This photo captured near Renfrew, Ontario on October 12, 2009.

The marina in North Bay, Ontario, usually busy with boats and boat activity sits empty in late October.

I took this one back in September while fishing on my brother’s 14-foot boat. There’s a nice reflection of the trees on the calm lake surface.

A peeling white birch tree. Photographed in Deep River, Ontario. October 12th, 2009.

The Sons of Jacob Congregation. This is North Bay, Ontario’s only synagogue, and one of the few in northern Ontario. It is a modest-looking building which serves the city’s very small Jewish population, less than 100. It was build around 1917 and was originally a grocery store.
