Homemade TARDIS Build – Part 3
I’ve been building a TARDIS in my spare time. The first step was building the frame. Then I added some detail. I used corrugated plastic for the walls. It’s a lightweight material so the completed model will be somewhat portable. I then added wood trim to create the panel effect. The next step was creating the…

Revert Skatepark (London, Ontario)
This is quite possibly the strangest skatepark you will ever see. It’s set inside a church. You can see the stage that is used as The Altar for Sunday Service. The floor we are skating on is where the congregation sits. You can see all of the chairs stacked up along the wall. It’s called…

Pipes and Rails Skatepark Tour
I went out skateboarding on Saturday and was elated that I could still do so in the middle of December. I really wanted to go out again today but it was raining and miserable. However, I didn’t let that stop me. I could skate all winter long if I wanted. It’s a bit of a…

Kiwanis Skateboard Plaza (Visual Tour)
Kiwanis Skateboard Plaza is an incredible skateboard park in London, Ontario, Canada. I love an early morning skate. It gives me a chance to get a little bit of workout first thing in the morning. And most of the time, the skateparks are empty at this time so I can have the entire run completely…

Merritt Trail (Mountain Locks Park)
It’s time for another photgraphic tour. This time we are going to the Merritt Trail located at Mountain Locks Park in St. Catherines, Ontario. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started off on my trail run this weekend. It looked like the trail ran alongside a road, but I was hoping it would…
