Crash kills 2


Waterloo Crash kills two - Twisted sign marks spot where two girls died and one critically injured in high speed crash Friday morning - January 1997.

I looked down after I took the photos and saw I was standing in blood and broken glass.

 

Inappropriate product placement

 


From 1997 -  I'm not sure where  I took this - somewhere in Ontario. Although the ham is an Equality brand product, they could have been sold in smaller grocery stores that were not part of the Food Basics chain. Obviously the kosher products and the ham should have not been beside each other.

Heron colony


Great blue heron colony (Ardea herodias) Grand Héron, c. 1990, Bull Island (also known as Dickinson Island), St. Lawrence River, Akwesasne.  Many of the trees on the island had died, probably due to the birds' acidic droppings and breaking branches to build nests.
