PHOTO WALK: EXPLORING STRATHCONA, AGAIN
鈥olly shorts, it鈥檚 Winter! Altho not astronomically or calendrically, but definitely meteorologically, as the temperatures plunged at the turn of December and it was truly, finally, sweater-scarf weather. It had snowed, a lot, and the low temperatures kept it laying on branches and fields, and crust over everything else. Since Autumn here was still on, or seemingly late, parks and woodlands were a delight, as amber leaves still hanging on trees, or scattered on the ground and "crystallized", made for wonderful photos. So, practically, photographically, being out of doors for many hours at a time was also tuque-gloves weather too, which was (is) nice.
If you know me personally, you know that I prefer the cool seasons (or not summer) and totally enjoy taking walks and photographing in those conditions of nature's slumbering, hibernating, and reviving. It is also satisfying to come in from the cold into my still-warm home and feel the flush on my cheeks and nose as I soften up. And I feel the pleasant fatigue in my muscles as I lounge on my sofa for a bit with a warm cuppa.
Then, as always, I take care of the RAW files.
Back to the photo walk, we visited Strathcona again but explored other parts of the neighbourhood, those straddling the Canadian National rail line. This east end of the neighbourhood is a grouping of industrial and residential bits tightly packed together. There are the industrial buildings for printers and brewers, some with murals; the residential blocks separated by courtyards, who's urban design is viewed negatively, but I think they look and work nicely these days; the low, light industrial, boring looking storage-type buildings; the still-cute bungalows and cottages regularly being renovated and looking very nice; a big, nice, masonry-clad school with its nicer clapboard-clad annex; comfy, intimate front yards; a couple of new residential developments (one of them huge!), and, finally, a bodega, Rise Up Marketplace, which has delicious patties and soup too.
In the middle of it all, there is a photogenic, turquoise pedestrian bridge that spans the railway track. It was built after mothers protested, at times on the very same track, when the rail company failed to respond and take seriously their concerns for their children's safety that conveniently crossed the racks to get to the elementary school on the other side. Read more about it here: Militant Mothers of Raymur. Also, the views from the top of the bridge are pretty cool as you can regard both sides of the neighbourhood and northward at the mountains.
The fallen snow was still plentiful along our photo walk. So the railway track, gabled roofs, shrubbery, and North Shore Mountains were well dusted with snow. It was all so pretty. To be fair tho, the spaces about the train track, under the overpass, the narrow spaces bordering the different zones were pretty messy and interesting too, as you shall see below.
It was a pleasant, and pleasantly chilly, photo walk with good company. So, thank you Colin @funktionalphotog, and Don @donsprojects for a fun time and sharing your photographs from our photo walk in Strathcona!

So, from your friendly neighbourhood photo guide, have a restful holiday season, and a gooder new year! Merry Everything and Happy Always!
And as I always say, to find new angles and different atmospheres of places, you just got to keep being there. I find there is pleasure in photographing together, getting to know each other, and conversing about this and that and photography. Importantly, we can be inspired by each other to keep making meaningful photographs. And it is hoped that these experiences will inspire local photographers to explore the city on their own.
How about you; have you explored the less commonly beautiful areas of Strathcona? What do you like about these inter-zone spaces of the city? Send me an email and tell me what you think.

21 and 22 for gtw for the worldbuilding asks?
Thank you! I answered 22 here.
21. Tell a bit about the different types of architecture in your story. Is it based on any existing styles, have you created new types of structures, or a mix?
It's all existing styles. A lot of the buildings by the docks are just like...vernacular clapboard houses. But I got to bring in little fun bits like New Bedford having a brief history of building brothels on the hulls of derelict whaleships (tho...having one there in the early 1840s is Historically Inaccurate but I do what I want). The whaleship is based off the Charles W. Morgan because they're from more or less the same time period, and there's still the luxury to visit her in person and get a feel for it. And I'm looking forward to drawing the architecture in the Azores cos it's beautiful and it'll be a nice reprieve from drawing boats boats ropes ocean for 160 pages.

At what level of thickness will L and Light finally gain their asses then? I feel sorry for their lack of cushion sitting down :(
funny boy answer: they are doomed to live sans ass for the rest of their lives.
serious, over thinking answer: Light will continue to have a p miniature flat butt because he never gains enough weight to make a difference. he鈥檚 someone who, through genetics, is predisposed to being thin and even tho his stomach and thighs round out as he gets more comfortable with L, he never gets beyond a normal ass size. L, after putting on many pounds thanks to Light learning how to cook, gains an fat ass after he and Light start doing a new squat routine Wedy told them about and Light is incredibly envious of L鈥檚 new muscled and firm ass next to his own clapboard butt.聽
