A coastal relic living in Campbell River, BC., rattling around the beaches and the bush. Hobbies are anything nautical, unsuccesful prospecting and treasure hunting, gardening and photography. Have built and operated 5 commercial salmon/log salvage boats, and still love playing with tools, and messing about in boats.BIO"I have often thought in all the world, The saddest thing to be; Old admirals that feel the wind, But never put to sea." Al Stewart, fron Past, Present, and Future. After a lifetime of fishing, beachcombing,(log salvage) and generally messing about, health issues have put me on the beach for good. You never completely get the salt water out of your veins, though. This gallery gives me a chance to fish some memories out of shoe boxes and share them, something that's rapidly becoming another hobby. I began fishing for money at age 11, 6 if you count trading rockcod for popsicles. I hope you enjoy my reminiscing.

I bet it is pretty hard to stop with all of that snow, and ice (after the sun sets and the temperature drops). God I remember seeing snow piled up fifteen feet high at the intersections where I lived in NJ. Such pretty white stuff for picture taking, but such cold wet stuff to be out in. Might need to fire up that fireplace to keep you warm Jim! :)

Now, that's incredible!! Are you sure that's snow or did you stack the sugar (or icing) to make it appear as though it is!?? You don't fool me, showoff!!! Okay...perfect shot! :P

Great shot. I can't figure why it would be piled at the intersections. Why don't they put it in a long row between the two lanes of traffic? That's how it was done in eastern WA.

I told you we're not very good at it. I think the idea is that if you get around the corner safely, you get a free pass to the next intersection, and then it starts again.

At least they didn't completely cover the stop sign here. lol...good photo. Reminds me of Olympia here.

Yep ... covering traffic lights and stop signs would be a nice idea :) But don't worry Jim, we should have a lot more practice with that over here, but it seems as if they are surprised by snow each year .. again and again ...

LOL A classic Jim shot....:) So, there was no bend, no mystery, but did you have to spend all morning with the snow maker just to create one;) Stay safe and warm, Jim and have a great New Year:)

Lol...we have one right up the street....it is now an ice pile! It's the city's answer to the question "What are we gonna do, we ran out of salt"!!!
moonfish
Wowzers!!! There must be something to the coastal mentality thang...they seem to do it just the same way here!!!!! Our garbage trucks get in on th eact too...makes for a most interesting form of multi tasking!!
