Last weekend of the summer, and i wanted to keep packing in the excitement, so i went to the CNE on Sunday.


I'm not into rides, so my favourite part is the Food Building, ha ha.


The crepe was pretty tasteless, and the berries, while a little hard, were real fruit. This would be the healthiest thing i ate here.


Chicken and pork kebabs, with tzatziki sauce.


Can't find your yacht?


They are in the middle of a free fall. Okay, probably not 'free'.


I did not try chocolate covered bacon...


Or the tornado potato...


The Air Show was on - this jet was hovering and moving forward in that position.


There it is again.


A composite (i was photographing around something else).


Whee!


Back to the Food Building. The perogies were very disappointing. Deep fried? Ugh! There used to be a place that sold them sauteed.


Montreal smoked meat sandwich - even yummier than it looks.


There's a group of jets just off centre. They were hard to photograph - you could track them if they were far away, but when they were close, they were moving very fast.


Augh! They were always flying into the sun.


I did not flip the photo.


Augh! So crowded. I got a Beavertail, and left for another year.


Some guy on Queen West stacking rubble.

I went to see Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince in 3D IMAX, which was pretty lame. Only the first chunk was in 3D - not like a climactic battle or anything. And a lit f the movie looked a little fuzzy. Also, i think they Scotiabank's IMAX bulbs need replacing, because it was too dark.


I had my tripod, and was aiming for that neon sign. I had a little time and made it down to Kew Beach again. A tripod makes a difference.


There's something i like about a well-designed neon sign.


Augh! Streetcar in shot!


Now a motorbike in my shot!


Monday i went back to the beach to hangout and read.
