Belgium photos part 1

The following pictures were all taken in Bruges, Belgium.



Mussels and fries!

"...and answer there came none...they'd been eaten...every one!" - you're supposed to prepare a pound of mussels for every guest.


Pearson International Airport, Toronto.

Interesting art exhibit at the airport

Belgium by train


This is one of my first impressions of Belgium, as my father and I traveled by train from Brussels to Brugges. I'll be doing some more traveling over the next week and a bit, so there will be more updates and more stories to be told, as well as photos!

I was recently in Ottawa, and I did take some photos, however, Ottawa is not as exciting for most of the Canadian readers, so I'm putting that off for a little while!

Cartoons and work


Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been working!

And pretty hard too, doing all sorts of film shoots, photo shoots, research, web work, and all sorts of other time consuming stuff.

Regardless, I just wanted to say that there will be more photos from Nunavut posted VERY soon!

And also, the cartoon on the left was made lovingly for me by my friend Kyle Lees, so wish him happy birthday today (November 3rd), and check out his comic strips:

(I've even appeared in it a few times)

Who honestly needs a vehicle like this?

The elementary school

Very strange architecture, especially on the schools

I'm not too focused on politics as you can see...

...and neither is she...

I ended up making lots of excellent music with Andy on the right...who now lives in Revelstoke.

Self-explanatory.
