Early morning fog on the river. You can see some lagard geese on the left in the distance. A few still hang around, despite the cold, ice and snow.

A Christmas Tradition
Since Phil and Janice are thinking of moving to this area, I thought I’d show them one of my seasonal traditions. We went to a local tree farm to cut down a Christmas tree and bring it home. It was cold today and hard on the fingers and toes – particularly for those who aren’t equipped for our winter weather.
Sarah’s Key
I’m reading this book now and noticed that the cover is an image licenced from Magnum Photo. I photographed the cover of the book, so this is an image of the cover. As I started to post this, I thought that perhaps I should have photographed more of the book so that what I am posting is actually of is an image of the book and not just the cover. It’s not exactly the cover because I cropped it a bit. I also took the photo from an angle to avoid the shadow of my arm and camera. That resulted in some distortion that is most noticable in the building at the top of the image. If Magnum finds this image in my blog I might get a takedown notice! Then again, perhaps it’s fair use.
As for the book, I can heartily recommend it. It’s hard to put down.
Winch Detail

Mississippi Ice
Water flowing through the control dam on the Mississippi River in Carleton Place has formed these ice channels. There is a lot of water flowing today – possibly to feed the hydro electric stations down stream.

Phil Heading Off For a Job Interview
Phil checking his cell phone before heading off to Ottawa for a job interview. I had tried several times to get a shot of Phil dressed up for his interview, but he just couldn’t pose for a picture without a grin or other look that seemed too self concious. I finally got this one after hje thought I had given up.

Haakon’s Demise
After trying and failing to hang himself one night, Haakon finally succeeded in putting an end to his misery — or so it seems. Police are not convinced and have yet to rule out a possible homicide. Two material witnesses wanted for questioning appear to have left town.
In the mean-time, Haakon’s twin brother Edvard has arrived to deal with the funeral arrangements.
