Is Climate Change really just Science Fiction?
LAMAR SMITH: NOAA’s climate change science fiction
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the nation’s leading collector of climate data. Every day, NOAA analyzes vast amounts of data to predict changes to our climate, weather, oceans and coasts. The agency also publishes monthly temperature averages across the nation and compares those numbers to historical temperature records. As the nation’s self-proclaimed authority… Continue reading

CNE Midway Stage Concerts 2015
The CNE Bandshell Stage is the place to catch some of the major Musicians and Bands passing thru Toronto.
The CNE Midway Stage features concerts from more local talent.
Actually the CNE Midway Stage is more like a huge outdoor bar with a really nice big stage.
The sound quality is just as good at the CNE Midway Stage.
I personally think that the guys handling the “Stage Lighting” at the CNE Midway Stage are way better at it, than the folks controlling the Lights at the CNE Bandshell.
Last year I would enjoy and shoot the CNE Bandshell concert and when that was finished, I would head over to the CNE Midway Stage to catch the last set. Made for many fun CNE nights of amazing music.
Ok, enough of my rambling. The CNE Midway Stage Concerts 2015 list follows:

This is a video of the Fireworks Display from the Closing Ceremonies of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games.
It was shared by the Tom Davis Vimeo page. Tom had apparently shot this using a Canon 5D Mk3 DSLR.

It was outstanding to catch Canadian Icon “Bruce Cockburn” perform. Almost did not make it. I arrived well after the concert had started. So glad that it was a rather long concert.
The end of the concert was also very cool, in that “Bruce Cockburn“ came back on stage to do an encore for all his fans.

Tucker the Schnoodle, plays the piano and sings along 3 to 4 times daily. It’s a Dog’s life.
Okay, all you “Cat” people. Can your Feline top what Tucker the Dog does a few times daily?
Video is courtesy of the KennedyFamily99 YouTube channel
Tucker’s owners got complaints from their neighbors, about Tucker’s partying while they were at work.
They setup a video camera and the result is this rather amazing video. It was shot back in 2010, when Tucker was just a year and a half old.
I wonder if there is a Piano Teacher out there who might like to try and teach Tucker how to play an actual tune on the family piano?
BTW, I love both Cats and Dogs and have had Cats & Dogs share amazing moments of my life…

Friends, Romans and Fellow Countrymen please lend me your ears
July brought Vincent the joys of country cottage life on Lake Rosseau, up in Muskoka. Okay, at least on some weekends.
That meant no shooting, on those weekends. Except maybe on Sunday night, if I drove back into TO in time. It also meant no post processing of photos.
PP is done on a dedicated desktop PC with a Color Managed monitor. Laptops do not work well for that purpose.
As it stands, I’m a little backed-up. Add to that, our reestablishment of our Facebook presence. It all makes for rather busy weekdays and late evenings
Things worked out OK with posts made in advance to open and display on weekends.
I’m trying to keep our Uniquely Toronto Facebook page active. Thanks to Facebook’s news feed, I can link to some material which I think many will find interesting.
August is just around the corner and if all goes well there will be much to post about.
Still have not heard back from the CNE, about getting a Seasons Media Pass again this year.
They changed some things regarding Seasons Passes Even Exhibitors it seems now have to purchase a pass. Should we get a Media Pass, like last year, we’ll cover as many of the CNE 2015 concerts as possible.
So while you wait for more pics to be posted on this site, may I invite each and every one of you to visit our Uniquely Toronto Facebook page.

Photos of the LIGHTS concert at the CIBC Pan AM Park , as part of Toronto 2015 Panamania.
Caught the LIGHTS concert at the CIBC Pan AM Park at the CNE grounds. The concert was held on July 20 2015, as part of Toronto 2015 Panamania.
She was amazing. Even better than the LIGHTS Canada Day concert in Vaughan.
More pics to come later.

Photos of the “Marianas Trench” concert at Nathan Philips Square on July 15 2015. Part of Panamania Toronto.
“Marianas Trench” performed at Nathan Philips Square on July 15 2015.
The awesome concert was part of Panamania Toronto.
Josh Ramsay, the Lead Singer, interacted with the audience from the far left of the stage all the way to the far right of the stage.
This guy did not stand still. Incredible to watch stage presence.
Later into their set Josh jumps off the stage into the Photog’s Pit, to get closer to that Band’s fans. This kind of stuff is rare for any band, let alone a Canadian one. He then proceeded to climb up and started to “body surf” in the audience, while singing. Again, something that one does not see here in “conservative” Canada.
Josh’s effort helped the fans feel like they were part of the performance. The fans really are the most important part of any musical performance. Band’s are on stage for their fans. The guys in “I Mother Earth” talk about it all the time. The Marianas Trench concert, showed that these guys also know this lesson very well.
Concerts are not just about the music. I have a great stereo, just ask my neighbors. I can listen to music at home. I go to concerts to “see” the band play.
The visual impact of Josh Ramsay’s performance was inspiring. This was old school, from Chubby Checkers “The Twist” to Elvis Presley. He worked the audience and the audience “loved it”.
Simply put, the Marianas Trench concert on July 15 at Nathan Philips Square, created life long memories for everyone in the audience.
This was one of the best concerts that I have seen…

Awesome concert. The Singer has an amazing stage presence
The interaction with the audience that the Singer had was something that is seldom seen. His performance reminded one of the late Freddie Mercury, when he performed with Queen.
Will post concert pics when I have a chance to do some Post Processing.

“I Mother Earth” Complete Concert at “It’s Your Festival” on July 10 2015, in Hamilton Ontario
I was informed about this video by Dan, a close friend of “I Mother Earth”.
This video is the complete “I Mother Earth” Concert at “Its Your Festival” in Hamilton. I wanted to shoot that show, but there was no way that I get out to Hamilton on July 10 2015.
Thanks to the gcarn YouTube channel for creating this video and making it available on YouTube.
“I Mother Earth” is an amazing band. I’ve seen them do a hour and half set and then come off stage and immediately do a meet and greet with fans. No break whatsoever. This is group of Musicians, “who really care about their fans“.

Back in 1879 the Toronto Industrial Exhibition was born.
That name stayed until 1912 when the Toronto Industrial Exhibition was officially renamed the Canadian National Exhibition.
The photo is of a poster for the Toronto Industrial Exhibition from 1885. Neat time capsule.

Five Key Factors to a Happy & Successful Marriage
I think that this provides sound advice for any relationship, not just marriage.
I especially like the idea that each party in a relationship should be able to spend time apart doing their own thing(s).
The relationship then grows when both parties later share their individual experiences with each other.
Cool post, glad for the opportunity to reblog it.

Photo of the “I Mother Earth” concert at WTFEST 2015 in Brantford
The first time that I saw “I Mother Earth” perform was at Cosmo MusicFest. They set lasted about 1.5 hours and on a very sunny day. After their set finished the band did not head to an air-conditioned area. Instead they all headed to the side of the stage for a meet and greet with their fans. No break what so ever. Rarely does one see such commitment by a Band to their fans.

Video of Al Di Meola performinag at the Toronto Jazz Festival on June 26 2015
I had previously posted some photos from the Al Di Meola concert at the Toronto Jazz Festival on June 26. That night was also part of my continuing battle with my new Nikon D7000 DSLR.
Bill King, I believe this is the same Bill King who helps run the Beaches International Jazz Festival, was at the Al Di Meola concert and had video taped some of the performance. All the photogs and video shooters were behind the sound board. This video turned out great.
