The deciduous trees are starting to turn color now. In a week or so, the hills will be covered with gold and bronze.

Sunrise, this morning. Only Linux utilities were used in getting this image from my camera and ready for my website: gphoto (a bit funky, probably became of my camera dock, but it works), gThumb, and Gimp.

I was charmed by this carved bull at the “Royal Ontario Museum”:http://www.rom.on.ca/explore/current.php.

Toronto Islands

Fotolog has made some changes:

bq. From now on, once a free account posts a photo, they will have 10 minutes to review it, delete and re-upload it if they made a mistake. After that, it will “freeze” – and if they delete it they will NOT recover their upload slot – they will have to wait until the next day for their next upload.

p. Evidently people had been gaming the system to upload more photos than allowed for the free members who are limited to one per day. I have wondered how long this neat service would survive before it fell to the tragedy of the commons, and thought that perhaps they had reached their limit the past few days when I could rarely get a connection.

This photo of Lake Ontario from the Toronto Islands was taken from the path that runs along the shore. I was surprised by the clear water.

Please view some of my most recent photos in Fotolog: Hanlan`s Point, Toronto Islands , Irish , South sky , Late summer sunrise , and Misty Mountains.
