Stars over David Thomson Pond
Переглядів 865 місяців тому
On the East Side the Algonquin Park is a small pond just off Highway 60 that I believe was called David Thomson Pond after the renowned Cartographer who explored and mapped a very large part of Western Canada on behalf of the Hudson's Bay Company. His Dedicated Wife accompanied him for much of his explorations. Had a Clear night forcated so captured this last week. Enjoy!

    I don't know you but I am so deeply happy that someone else cares to really pay attention to all the nature in this city. I wonder how many hours you spent getting this footage. This is very inspiring. I'm always seeing things right in the middle of the city's east end arroud Danforth and Greenwood -- hawks, turkey vultures and woodpeckers, quiet troops of skunks, a possum, the very unusual rabbit and, of course, our tubby prankster pals the raccoons, who seem convinced that, as long as they master the art of freezing and and strategic creeping we won't notice that big ball-shaped overstuffed-anteater silouette. So many people miss hawks landing on streetlights, because they wouldn't think to look. There is so much here.

      I Couldn't Agree More. While I do Live in the West end and most of this was captured in Halton, (Usually on my way home from work) I do know there is an incredible amount of green space right in toronto and all you need to do is spend some time looking for it. Thanks for the Kind Words and yes this did take a fair amount of time and there is lots of footage that was dark or to shaky to use (600 mm lens moves alot even on a tripod) Cheers!

      @ontariooutdoorexplorer1201 2 роки тому

      The weather was warmer then usual for this time of year so I think they are deeper and not as agressive. We just trolled with spoons and crank baits. The 2 lake trout were caught around midway down the lake. Others were having luck as well doing the same method but may have been deeper. So add weights to get deeper might help. But there are shallow sections the are around our site across to the other side of the lake is a fairly shallow sand bar and even washout weights I did catch some real-estate...

    FYI, I hope you saw the root cellar at end of portage from Perley to Burntroot. The wavy lake didn't give you a chance to see the anchor on anchor island or the alligator on the western shoreline. Also, the portage from LaMuir to Hogan is wide because of the Canadian Federation of Anglers for their fisherpersons to cart their motor boats from Hogan to LaMuir. There is also a cart trail (road) from Big Crow to Hogan. Again, another good video. Also, I am glad you are using Jeff's map as he is a good friend of mine. LOL He and a friend started Unlostify and Jeff is still putting out quality maps. you have a new subscriber!
