Figure we’ve had enough depressing cloud pictures for now. So here’s something happy. Yay! What, not happy enough you say? Oh well.

And before you ask, no, I wasn’t in a sailing boat. I don’t trust the wind. We’ve had too many confrontations in the past.

Here’s a shot that I grabbed while on a duck boat tour of Boston, obviously of Charles St.

So, yeah. For about the past month we’ve been getting rain almost every single day in Ottawa. It’s unbelievable. Usually the summer is really dry, but still humid somehow. But this summer, it’s been like living in a rainforest. Every day, like clockwork it starts raining at about 4pm, and then again later at night. Hopefully we won’t have to build an arc.

This is a shot of the Trinity Church and the John Hancock Tower, in (you guessed it!) Boston. This picture didn’t really catch my eye as a normal shot, so it got HDR’ed.

Yeah. I’m late, I know. Took this on Canada Day (July 1st for all you foreigners), when they closed down all the streets within 10 (or so) blocks of the parliament buildings. Thought it looked sort of cool.

Took this picture while on a duckboat tour in Boston (yes, it didn’t sink!). The shot shows the newer Zakim bridge in the background, while a older yellow railway bridge hangs out in the front.

…And I shot this. We were driving through Boston (Of course, the one time we forgot our umbrellas!), and it started pouring. Not just a bit of rain, I mean ’streets were almost ready to flood’ rain.

Shot of the paint (or lack of!) on the bottom of a bridge in Boston.

One of my first HDR shots from a single RAW frame on my D40… turned out quite well, if I don’t say so myself.
