Now this is is a real departure for me – I took a photo during the day!
Either way, I was about 5 minutes from home and these clouds looked amazing at sunset, and the Rockies looked much larger than usual off in the distance. I may be missing all the great street life of Toronto, but Calgary has some equally great natural landscapes nearby.

In June of 2012, Duluth experienced a rainstorm that was one of those “once in a hundred year” events. My basement ended up with several inches of water which damaged some my photography equipment, including the telephoto for my Nikon FM film camera. It had a fine coating of silt that would have cost more to repair that the lens was worth. But, rather than throw it out, I decided to shoot a roll of film with it and see what would happen. As you can see from the image, it adds a slight gauzy effect, making the scene sort of dreamlike. Although I don’t shoot film as often as I used to, I plan to keep the lens in my bag and think of it under the right circumstances.
