Buggy Ride

One of the stops in the Amish Tour was a buggy ride.

We came at closing time so there was no line up

It was fun but I do realize now that even when the weather is good it is cold to ride in an open buggy

Buggy Shop

We went on a tour in Amish country one of the stops was a buggy shop.

This buggy looked very nice but if you would order one it would be at least a year wait.

detail of the step

The owner of the shop explained how the springs work

Book of Life / Book of the Death

At the ROM we could make pictures of the "Book of the Dead"

Like the "weighing of the heart"

No pictures allowed from the Book of Life: "the Bible"

Or any part of the Dead sea Scrolls

To the ROM

Olga drove to the Yorksdale Mall

There we took the subway to the Museum

The Royal Ontario Museum or ROM

The Art of Manual Photography

Our Photography course teacher told us to make our pictures in "manual" mode. It's not that easy for sometimes...

...the subject (our cow) was gone before I had the setting right.

Photography course

I'm taking a photography course and we are supposed to take all our pictures on the Manual setting. That is hard!

More Fall

Not always enough sun to take good pictures
