KEN'S PHOTO'S OF THE NIGHT SKIES !

                              These photos Ken took with his camera mounted on his telescope. We both enjoy Astronomy ! We have a total of 4 telescopes and he has his sky shed  that he has all the equipment set up in. These photos are of stars and galaxies , They all have names ! 

                              The roof moves depending on were you want to view the skies !

     Hi  Ken !   In your house again I see lol !!!!  He even has a special filter for the scope so he can view the sun spots on the sun  and photograph them !   That is called Astro Photography  when you photograph the stars,planets and galaxies !

                                    There is a whole new world out there ! Next time you look up at the night skies on a clear night try looking at it through binoculars, you will be amazed at the millions of  stars you can see  with them !

                                   Have a great day !  Or better, Have a great night sky !  And wish upon a star!

PHOTOS & HISTORY OF OUR VILLAGE VIENNA ONTARIO ! part 1

I went out for a walk with Miggy and took some photos of our village, there are so many abandon buildings on main street its sad. I wish our village could restore these buildings and get business going in them again, the reason for this abandonment was that back in the 1800's there were two huge floods and a fire that  wiped a lot of the village and store owners out and they never returned !

  The Edison Museum !

VIENNA
a small Ontario village with a long history

Vienna, Ontario, is located on the banks of the Big Otter Creek, and has been described as "a blink of a town"!
According to the last census - "Vienna is a small town of 566 residents in the Otter Valley"
This village has a history dating back to 1811, but its main claim to fame is that it was the birth place of one of the Grandfathers of Thomas Alva Edison - inventor of the electric light-bulb.
Thomas Edison was a prolific inventor and held over 1,000 patents.
While reading a Biography of this amazing man, I was gratified to learn that he only attended school for a period of about three months, and other than that he was educated at home by his mother - wow - Thomas Edison was Home-Schooled!

VILLAGE SUNRISE

As the sun was rising the air was crisp and cold, when the sun kissed the day hello , the countryside was covered in a light frost and the echo of  birds and animals traveled through the air , as I see my breath  in the cold crisp air it was taken away by the beauty  that was rising above our village !
