Blog Guelph: Hillside Festival Aftermath
I've just checked out one of the Hillside Groups Discussions on Facebook.
From what I read, if the number of Facebook folks who tried to purchase tickets but were unable to due to technical difficulties are representative of the larger draw - there must be many frustrated people out there.
The reality is, Hillside cannot grow - islands venues are restrictive in that way. But speaking as an experienced festival starter, and seeing just how festival friendly Guelph is, starting ANOTHER festival is certainly within this communities reach and ability.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Lake Ice Fishing
I spent much of my youth sitting in my dad's fish hut out on Georgian Bay, trying to be quiet - waiting for a fish to strike.
There's a zen like quality to the dark cave of a fish hut. Should you be interested in having the experience, the huts on Guelph Lake can be rented through the Guelph Lake Conservation Authority. Click here for details.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Lake Shoreline
It has finally reached a seasonally appropriate temperature in Guelph. With the weather acting all crazy like, it's anyone's guess how long we'll be in Chillyville. But eventually Guelph Lake will freeze over and we'll be able to go skating.

Blog Guelph: Manufactured Landscapes
In the Guelph International Film Festival featured film Manufactured Landscapes, photographer Edward Burynsky's large scale photographs of how China's industrial revolution in severely modifying the natural landscape left me both enthralled and deeply disturbed. The film is coming to the Bookshelf in early December. I highly encourage you to attend.
Guelph Lake is our own very small-scale version of a manufactured landscape thanks to the construction of the Guelph Lake dam in 1974. Photographer Blairware captures an idyllic impression with this shot. Yet prior to 1974, this landscape hosted a farm and the Speed River.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Lake
Ideally, water should be protected at the source. According to the Source Water Protection website, "the proposed Clean Water Act would play a major role in ensuring that all Ontarians have access to safe drinking water. Protecting water at its source is the first step in ensuring safe drinking water. It means stopping contaminants from getting into sources of drinking water -- lakes, rivers and aquifers."
Go here to find out more about the Clean Water Act.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Lake Sunset
Taken on Hillside weekend, this image by photographer 'personality dialysis' offers a glimpse of the perfect solution to sticky summer weather in a very hot city. Despite the fact that the heat wave has moved on and the current temperature possesses that tiny hint of *fall* (GASP!) Guelph Lake Conservation Authority is a lovely destination for communing with nature anytime of year.
Click the picture if you'd like to see this photographer’s photo stream.
