A Word A Week Challenge: Industrial

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Mama Cormier

…. over at A Word In Your Ear, Sue’s A Word A Week Challenge this week is Industrial. Today I’m focusing on old industrial sites that have been restored to be used by the public.

I love this challenge. Living in Toronto presents itself with all kinds of industrial photo opportunities. On our daily walks we always come across this amazing old building that used to be a power plant in the early to mid 1900’s. Today it’s been restored and is used for recreation purposes. In the winter it houses a seating area to lace up your ice skates and a place to warm up after enjoying the outdoor skating rink next door.

Another great old factory that has recently been restored is the old Brickworks in the city’s east end. It’s also become a multi-purpose facility. It houses a farmers’ market in the summer and is used for workshops, art exhibitions and a variety of functions. I love walking around the old brick ovens.Tomorrow I will share photo of more industrial areas that have been re-invented and are now used for new businesses.

Cheers!

A Word a Week Photograph Challenge – Blue

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Mama Cormier

Blue

A feeling of loneliness, despair, sadness and regret

Evokes an atmosphere of calmness, peace and restoration

A colour that signals life, freshness and newness

Cool, inviting and invigorating

A colour reserved for boys but suits everyone

Blue, with it multitude of meanings

Is the world’s favourite colour

Blue has always been a good colour on me.

A Word a Week Challenge – Dog

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Mama Cormier

…. a new challenge

Once a week Sue, from A Word in Your Ear will dip into her old English Oxford dictionary and pick a word on the page that it falls open at. The challenge is to post a photograph, poem, story – whatever the genre you like best to describe what that word means to you.

This week’s word is ‘dog’.
