Geodesic roof

 More photos from 1992 -  E.A. Newell II Golden Dome in Ogdensburg, N.Y. , hockey arena with a geodesic roof. Infrared film.

First photo colourized by ChatGPT. This is a house I passed in upstate NY, probably somewhere near Hwy 37 in Morristown, NY, in 1992 - there was a mass of Tiger Lilies that had taken over the front yard. They sometimes remain even after the house has fallen down, and they are the only reminders that a farmhouse had been there. The house was for sale and a woman stopped and wanted to see inside, so we both went in - the interior was empty but the top floor had boxes full of books, some in German, from the late 19th century, including a travel guide to the USA, so the former resident were likely immigrants.

I don't know why this one is colour - it might have be an infrared film slide or something.

 

10 Day Cafe

Ten Day Cafe, operated in Stratford,Ontario 1990s and 2000s, literally an underground club - the photos are of events that were associated with it in and around Stratford.

 

Snapping Turtle, Tortue serpentine, Chélydre serpentine (Chelydra serpentina)

Trying to cross road - I've learned it's not hard to move them (see Youtube)

The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist

This is another set of photos that I don't remember who is the subject - I think I might have arranged to photograph her as she set out on a trip to Owen Sound and I was going to give her these. Maybe Guelph?

Ipperwash march

 The Ipperwash Crisis in 1995 was an armed conflict over a park that had been created on land expropriated from a native reserve on Lake Huron in western Ontario. I got one article in the Star over the dispute between the Ojibwe native people who wanted it returned to them and the government of Ontario before the crisis developed. The Ojibwe had been trying to get public attention about this for years before the crisis, which resulted in the death of Dudley George, who was shot by an OPP sniper. Here are some natives walking to Queen's Park, Ontario's provincial parliament in Toronto, along Highway 6 just north of Guelph in 1993. The staff is an Eagle Staff, which is like a flag for native people. The man carrying it explained that it represented the different First Nations that supported them and the fur, feathers and snakeskin represented the living things that also were concerned and supported them. He used the word 'people' in English to describe both the First Nations and the other living things. I've lost my notes so I don't know the names of anyone.

Peppermint in the gorge

I lived in Elora, Ontario in 1991. There is a gorge made by the Grand River and Irvine Creek that runs through the limestone bedrock in the middle of the town. Peppermint grows in abundance at the edge of the water, and I'd go down the steps at night to the creek bed and smell it.
