GoPro Time Lapse Airports & Airplanes Traveling to Rome Italy.
Ah Italy, such a beautiful country. My wife and I were embarking on a trip to La Dolce Vita, the sweet life of Italy and I made sure my GoPro batteries were charged and it was set to time lapse mode. The time lapse feature in the little GoPro cameras is one of my favourite features and traveling in an airplane is a great opportunity to play with it and I wasn't about to let that opportunity pass me by on this flight. Once we passed through security at the airport I pulled out my GoPro and put it on the suction cup mount and attached it to the window at the airport until it was time to board the airplane. Once on the plane I attached the suction cup to the window of the plane as quickly as I could so that the GoPro was ready for take off. After the first flight, while we were waiting in the airport for our connecting flight I attached the GoPro to the window of the second airport and kept the time lapse going and got a bit of the sunset by shear luck. Unfortunately by the time we got on the connecting flight my luck had run out as it was quite dark and the lights were on in the airplane so I didn't think it was going to work, but looking back I probably should have tried it anyway.
I continued the time lapse several hours into the flight when the sun was coming up over the horizon and then finished it with the airplane landing at Leonardo Da Vinci Airport in Rome.

Victoria Memorial Outside Buckingham Palace and Buckingham Palace London England. The Victoria Memorial outside the main gates of Buckingham Palace in London England is a memorial to Queen Victoria, the first sovereign to reside in Buckingham Palace.
Constructed of 2300 tons of marble the Victoria Memorial was dedicated in 1911 by two of Queen Victoria's grandsons, George V and Wilhelm II of Germany and Sir Thomas Brock was the sculptor of the Victoria Memorial. The final bronze statues were installed in 1924 completing the Victoria Memorial outside the main gates of Buckingham Palace.
Buckingham Palace and The Buckingham Palace Victoria Memorial London England. Buckingham Palace in London England is an obvious must see for anyone travelling to London England. As well as being the Queen's residence in London England, Buckingham Palace is also her primary workplace. Buckingham Palace is one of many historical icons in London England and seeing Buckingham Palace in person and standing outside the iconic main gates of Buckingham Palace was one of the highlight of our stay in London England. The Victoria  Memorial outside those main gates of Buckingham Palace in London England is both impressive and beautiful. Buckingham Palace is a most appropriate place for the Victoria Memorial as Queen Victoria was the first sovereign to take up residence in Buckingham Palace and was the first sovereign so leave from Buckingham Palace for their Coronation. Although we didn't have time to find out about tours of inside Buckingham Palace just to see Buckingham Palace and the Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace and St James Park, across from Buckingham Palace was quite impressive. On the next trip to London England we with definitely go back to Buckingham Palace and find out about tours of the inside, where, I'm certain, Buckingham Palace really shines.

Born to Run: Dryland Dog Mushing / Carting National Championship


I had the opportunity to be part of the film crew at the Dryland Dog Mushing Canadian National Championship in Bristol Quebec. This was my first experience at a dog mushing or dog carting competition and it was amazing to see the passion of the participants and the excitement of the dogs. These dogs are truly born to run. Dryland dog mushing or carting really is like dog sledding without the snow. For the participants, dryland dog mushing  is a sport they do for love and some travel all over the world to do it. For the dogs, dryland dog mushing or carting, provides exercise and discipline and helps keep working dogs healthy and happy.
