2014 Week 07 Photos

By Corey Lablans Photography

(Week 37 photographing daily) 

This past week was filled with adventure. In the middle of the week I drove to Ottawa to visit James, went skating on the canal and watched The Lego Movie. It has been 14 years since I was last skating on the canal, if not longer. Reading week started that weekend, which meant Kentucky. Saturday morning we departed bright and early at 6:00 a.m. for Slade, Kentucky. It snowed over night, so on Sunday we went for a hike to the natural bridge. This is my fourth year climbing in Kentucky with the Queen’s Climbing Club.

2014 02 11 – A student is reflected in a puddle along Union Street in front of the John Deutsch University Centre. Puddle comes from the Old English word “pudd,” meaning ditch or furrow, which then comes from German “Pfudel” meaning pool.

2014 02 12 – People line up at the BeaverTail hut located on the Rideau Canal. I always remember the only place getting BeaverTails was on the canal until they expanded. BeaverTails come from the small town of Killaloe, Ontario.

2014 02 14 – Various climbing gear is laid out on the floor in preparation for this year’s reading week trip to the Red River George in Slade, Kentucky. It is amazing there; the sandstone walls make for some amazing routes.

2014 02 15 – Frank, Louise, Lena and Nick sit in the van at a Wendy’s in Lexington, Kentucky after 16 hours of driving with one more hour to our destination. We left Kingston at 6:00 a.m. and arrive in Slade, Kentucky at 11:15 p.m.
