A film shot from this afternoon, in Campbellford, Ontario (180kms east and north of Toronto). Which seems like a long way to drive to take a photo of a rusty old van, but all will be revealed after some shuteye. I’ve been up since 3am.

A rather unusual sight in 2006, but not so in the area around St. Jacobs and Elmira, Ontario, apparently. I took this photo back in August when Berit, Jez, and Justi were visiting from Germany and wanted to get a first-hand look at the Amish/Mennonite way of life. I totally drew the line when Berit told me to follow one buggy because she wanted to see inside a house.
“No way!” I said. “They just want to be left alone. Plus, we haven’t been invited!”
David would’ve chuckled at the anachronism; that they’d come from the motherland to observe the Amish and see a horse-driven buggy that isn’t used solely for tourism.
I stumbled on a page about the Amish lifestyle in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania which is quite informative. (I was there last week.) It answers quite a few common questions regarding dress and the significance of social practices, such as why Amish men have beards but no moustaches, or what happens at Amish funerals.
There are some wonderful applications using Flickr’s API. These are from my photoset called (you guessed it) ‘some faves’. Mouse over a picture to see its title in Flickr.

Original post:
This is a large file (69MBs) hosted on Blip.tv, seven minutes in length, so you might have to wait for a bit before it begins to play.
The edited version is still a work in progress, so I thought I would string together most of the 15 short clips (including a few frames of my fellow passengers; there were 12 of us in all) minus some of the taxiing along the runway, and post the unedited version. One of my favourite parts is around the 5:05 minute mark, when we fly over Hamilton Airport and the museum.
