New Cottage on the Lake

Friday, 15 June 2012

My sister and brother in law just bought a cottage on the west side of the state. It's on a lake, so last weekend we helped them move the jet boat and boat hoist.

Here's pictures of the weekend we were up north to take the hoist apart. Then this weekend all of the parts to the shore station/boat lift were loaded on to a trailer and strapped down.

On our way with the jet boat and hoist.

Here is a panorama of the lake and cottage.

I tried out my homemade ND filter with my camera. It really makes a calm looking photograph, especially when it's converted to black and white. This picture was a 30 second exposure.

Here's a time lapse video of us putting in the dock and putting the boat hoist together. It only took 2.5 hours to do but unfortunately my camera battery died after about 2 hours. So you miss seeing us push it over the sea wall and into the water.

The rest of the weekend was spent swimming and watching max jumping off the dock, into the water.

This is a picture i took from about 8' past the end of the dock.

That's his Kong he's chasing on the right.

And here's more pictures of the lake and Max.

Cottage - August

Thursday, 13 August 2009

I spent the second half of last week up at my parents cottage again. Although the weather wasn't all that great it was still fun. My sister was there so we still did a bunch of things including going to Lumbermans Monument along the Au Sable River.

The bear at "The Bear Store" was not as excited to see me as i was to see him.
