Mississauga Skatepark (Iceland Arena Sports Complex)
Skateboarding is an amazing sport. I like the fact that you can skate almost anywhere as long as you have a smooth section of asphalt or concrete. However, it is especially nice to have dedicated skateparks for us to go and practise our sport in comfort. I’ve decided to start highlighting the skateparks I frequent…

The Pines – Mountain Bike Trail (Photographic Tour)
I found myself in Woodstock last week, and being the avid runner that I am, I had to hit up one of the local trails. I’d already explored a few trails in this town, so I did a Google search to see if there was a new one I could try. The Pines is a…

Tallest Silver (My Favourite Cosplay Artist)
I have seen these pictures of Power Girl several times over the last year and, I must say, she really embodies the character (pardon the pun) I recently discovered her blog and other great cosplay pictures. I just had to share them with you. She simply is amazing. Her name is Tallest Silver and you…

Some Old Ruins in Ingersoll
I went for a trail run in Ingersoll the other day and I came across this. I wasn’t sure what it was at first glance so I decided to take a closer look. I’ve come across some old cement foundations in quite a few of my trail runs, but I usually don’t stop to explore…

He was originally from Massachusetts but moved to what is now Ingersoll, Ontario in 1793. He named the area Oxford-on-the-Thames but it was his son, Charles, who renamed the town…

Putting Graffiti In Its Place
This is a bridge in a Kitchener suburb. You cannot see the underside of this bridge from the road. You cannot see the graffiti art if you are simply walking by on the sidewalk. The colourful logos and words are pretty much completely hidden from view. That is why this is the perfect spot for…

Komoka Side Trail
Komoka Provincial Park is one my favourite places to go for a run. It is located just minutes from London, Ontario. I profiled it before but I discovered a brand new section of the trail last week, and it is even more beautiful. That’s why it’s time for another Visual Running Tour. I’ve only ever…

A Photographic Tour of Pinafore Park
Pinafore Park is one of the jewels of St. Thomas, Ontario. It is also the focus of today’s Visual Running Tour. I didn’t know where this trail would lead, how long it was, or how great a run it would be. But sometimes it’s just fun to take off and run into the unknown. The trail…
