Hi all,

not sure how many of you have the week off like myself. But I am thinking of doing some events during the daytime on the 27th - 29th. At the moment a few thoughts in my head...

1. Mills & Historic Places WEST -- In the Guelph/Cambridge area.

2. Toronto Zoo for wildlife photography (indoor and outdoor). (parking is free right now)

Who would be interested, and has time off.

Im in. Anytime, anyplace. Im always off. Not sure if its worth the stop but on Zoo property is a place called Valley Halla. Abandoned estate from days gone by. You can google for info. It lies just on the east side of the parking lot. Please tell me there are some waterfalls in our future?

I might be able to do Dec. 27, depending on the weather, and on if/when I get to meet up with a friend.

I googled Valley Halla. I shot a place almost exactly like this...in ruin, called 7 Mile Island up on Scugog Island Pt Perry. It was owned by a cigar tycoon & had it's heyday in the 20's I think. And there are people living there. This one looks like the house may be still livable, while the grounds deteriorate...just like 7 Mile Island.

It is private property; we had permission to be there.

So I will be posting event details soon.... the plan for this outing is December 27th, and heading to the Cambridge area - and hopefully also Guelph. I have to map out the locations and figure it out.
