Learning the craft of making film and video. Trying to have some fun in the process.
Railway track inspection
WARNING nothing happens in this video! Unless you're interested in railway track maintenance, you will be bored silly!
This is about 450 metres of track running through an un urban area in Ontario. This is a raised track passing between people's backyards on both sides.
I took this because I thought some of the track looks a little dodgy. Some ties seem to be almost dissolving. Are you a railroad professional? What's your opinion? Does the condition of this track fall within safe parameters? Or does it need a proper inspection?

We have new kittens! We were fostering, but decided to keep 'em. These two sisters are Sophie - the slightly larger one with more black than white, and Lucy - smaller with a whiter back and the distinctive spot. They love to run and play and bother our other poor old foster cat! All the cats are from Abbey Cats, a Toronto cat rescue organization composed entirely of volunteers. We've been foste...

If you're not interested in railways this will be the most boring video you've ever watched.
I can't wait for the film to come out!
What a great idea, love the song, love the trailer!
Wonderful! Look forward to it!
wonderful, just wonderful! Congratulations Nick. Can't wait to see the full version.
OMG how did I not find this sooner? I constantly search up Tyler Kyte here from The States, it's a... thing. Anyway, thank you for posting this! I've known this song.. well, goodness since the early 2000s, yet I never knew Ryan's story behind it. Makes so much sense now! Old becomes new. Poor Ryan. Great last minute save.

Nice start. It makes me want more.
Beautiful Nick! Such a gorgeous environment that you have captured so wonderfully. The close ups are magnificent, I particularly loved the mushroom at 9:25! I am curious to see if Nate continues to be engrossed in the fascinating fungi☺️. Great work

NOTA BENE, everyone who did this caught very bad colds doing so. Perhaps less than sanitary.
Singer?
Qué bella versión !!!! Gracias maestros
So much fun!
i love the music!

Well done Nick!!!
"The Safe Access to Abortion Services Act" is nothing but an infringement on free speech. The negative behaviors it purports to stop are already illegal, such as harassment, intimidation and threats.
This is a gem..! Great job Randy..!
Just watched this (Greg sent it to me). I remember you both very well & hope you are doing ok. Lorraine
I look so un-graceful!
I should also have credited Tully's Bar, Carlow for their kind support of the Yes campaign.
Thank you for posting this. I cannot believe that this man got voted in. I fear that with him being in a position of power it will allow more people to be open with their anti-women stances and commit violence towards women, such as the Toronto van killer. It's a sad and scary day to be a Canadian and a woman.
Great job! I'm happy you brought this to my attention!
Awesome #IStandWithStandingRock
So lucid. Love her. Love her commitment and passion for change.
say what you want, Mr Ford cared more for the people than any other politician had.
