2013 Week 29 Photos

By Corey Lablans Photography

Finishing up my 7^th week photographing on a daily basis exciting things continue to happen. This week Ontario was hit by a massive front, causing power outages across the province.  As a result temperatures broke, creating excellent weather for the weekend, making mineral collecting and the South Baptist Music Festival enjoyable. Here are the photos:

2013 07 15 – Every year I enjoy seeing what new graffiti is added to the wall behind Camera Kingston off Wellington Street. The mice were added some time ago but the colourful circle is a newer addition. 

2013 07 16 – Wendy writes a label for a Fluorrichterite sample to be placed on display in the new mineral museum at 8 Hasting Heritage Way, Bancroft. The new museum has a wide array of minerals collected within 150 km radius of Bancroft, as well as a mine diorama and fluorescent mineral display. The opening date is scheduled for July 28^th.

2013 07 17 – Fraser Creek, made up of Richard Arthur, Howard Baer and Brad Culver, performs during the Mineral Capital Concerts at Millennium Park. Every Wednesday evening a different performer takes to the stage at 7:00 p.m. ending around 9:00 p.m.

2013 07 18 – One of the servers pours in a shot of whiskey while making a mixed drink on Thursday night, half price wing night. The South Algonquin Eatery and Pub, one of the area’s newest restaurant establishments opened in spring 2013, located at 4 Bridge West, Bancroft, Ontario.

2013 07 19 – Got the pot ready and was about to cook pasta last night on my electric burner when I realized, “oh ya, the power is out,” so I used the stove. A storm rolled through the area yesterday knocking out the power to 14,000 people in the Hastings Township. It was around 9:40 p.m. when it came back on.

2013 07 20 – A gentleman maneuvers his Sea-Doo at the boat launch behind the Country Fare and Inn during the 2^nd Annual South Baptist Music Festival. The choppy water made it difficult for boats to float and enjoy the festival.

2013 07 21 – Vic and Tristan work under the rock face, looking for a wide variety of minerals, at the Schickler Fluorite mine near Wilberforce. The site recently opened to collectors after Michael Bainbridge worked out the logistics. Many different minerals are collectable: Titanite, Scapolite, Apatite, Amphibole, Fluorite and possibly others.

 Have an excellent week and remember to get out and do things!!
