Today we were out and about and visited a few of the lesser-known areas around Renfrew and area. We hit the Tatlock Mine, Mountainview chute dam, Fourth Chutes near Eganville, and the ghost town of Backlava. Here are some photos we took.

Added some photos for a couple of events that I attended recently. Canada Day in Ottawa was pretty exciting, here are a couple of pictures from the fireworks that night.
A few weeks later Our Lady Peace came to town for Cicso Ottawa Bluesfest and put on an awesome show. Some photos below.

What I came up with was using NextGEN Gallery for WordPress. It seemed like a pretty easy way to manage my albums and galleries without getting too involved. I was also able to utilize Picasa’s experimental publish to FTP feature.
