Monte Carlo Fire

In case anyone didn't know, there was a fire this morning at the Monte Carlo. Saw it break on the news and then ventured out...but by the time I got there, the fire department put it out. Here's the aftermath of the destruction.

Bellagio Hotel

Finally got a chance to update since going to Las Vegas. Last night I had some time to kill so I wandered around and caught the Bellagio Hotel after sunset. There's a time about 10 minutes after sunset where the sky is a perfect blue. The second photo just comes a couple minutes later. Enjoy.

Toronto Coverage

Here are the front and back pages of the Daily News from Toronto. With the exception of having the moose life-size, I was happy with it. The big photo should have been the city shot with snow.

Greetings From Toronto

Only an hour until kickoff, here is a pre-game photo.

Toronto-Day 3: HHOF and CN Tower

Since there are way too many photos to make a slideshow, I put them on my Ball State account.

Here is the link to the Hockey Hall of Fame photos:

CN Tower at 1,465 feet above ground:

All the photos are unedited and uncropped. This is my favorite photo, a 20-second exposure.

Toronto-Day 2

Not many pictures today since the bitter cold kept me inside most of the day, except for grabbing a couple donuts at Tim Hortons and the semi-long trek to pick up credentials and watch Ball State practice. While walking, I stopped and took a photo of the CN Tower. Look for more pictures tomorrow from the Hockey Hall of Fame and the CN Tower.

Toronto-Day 1 Shots

Just a little bit of night shots while walking around after a drink at the Hard Rock Cafe. Hockey Hall of Fame is on tap tomorrow- cannot wait for that. Enjoy.
