  • At the time of the cholera epidemic in 1832, the village of Brockville established a quarantine centre on Refuge Island, a small island just off the shore, for foreign emmigrants who were landing at Brockville. By 1838, the island was known as Grant's Island, and a blockhouse was built as part of the order to build fortifications in response to the "Patriot War" threat from the US. The blockhouse remained until 1860, by which time the island was joined to the mainland by a causeway, and a roundhouse was built. Now known as Blockhouse Island, it became the terminus of the Brockville-Ottawa Railway, joining water transportation to rail, with the building of lumber docks, the current Customs Warf. Today the basin formed by the island, its causeway, and the customs warf for a very nice harbour basin for recreational boaters.

  • The Golden Hawks aerobatics flying team were established in 1959 to commemorate both the 35th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the 50th (Golden) anniversary of flight in Canada. Originally tasked for one year, they actually performed 317 shows across North America until they disbanded in 1964. Canada's next team, the Golden Centenaires, flew CT-114 Tutors for Canada's centenial in 1967, and this team was the fore-runner of the Snowbirds who are active to this day. This F-86 is o display next to the Canada Customs station in Brockville harbour, Ontario.

  • In Brockville, Ontario, a 1/3 mile long tunnel was constructed in the mid-nineteenth century to connect the rail yards to their waterfront industries, the first railway tunnel in Canada. The tunnel remained in use for over a century. Recently renovated and re-opened, it presents a cool respite from the summer heat. The tunnel remained in use for over a century.

  • The north branch of Sandy Creek in Burrville, New York (Jefferson County) had a 30 foot waterfall, which was dammed and used to power a mill, built in 1801. Burr's Mill was originally a sawmill and grist mill, but was converted by Homer Rebb in the 1940's to commercial cider production. The old penstock is still visible. The falls are visible from a series of public-access decks behind the mill.

  • I keep returning to this location, an abandoned farm house near Athens Ontario, because it presents a challenge to me as a photographer. According to current 'wisdom' I should not even attempt to get a milky way shot here. It is close to two urban centers: Gananoque on the right, and Brockville on the left, both creating a glow on the horizon, and I cannot seem to get to this location until after the clouds have begun to move in. Nevertheless I keep trying, and managed to get this shot of the galactic center with high whispy clouds moving in front of the star fields. Personally I think it adds to the shot!
