Maynard, that shot is beautiful! I has no idea that there was another beautiful thing in Timmins! I would like a blow-up of it to put on my wall if you decide to 'print' it? Lemme know.

In fact I have now stolen it and it is to be the wallpaper on my computer! Thank you!

Meecka! I never knew! Another reason to go back there!

I spent years of my life in Timmins one fall, living in a motel for a month and flying surveys... fighting for space in the coffee shop in the morning with all the moose hunters. Apparently that year one of them bagged a donkey in the wildlife park. :cry:

I would LOVE a high-res copy - I'll PM you.

I remeber hearing about the donkey! I guess because Moose are sometimes called "swamp donkeys" up there, the guy just figured any 'ol donkey will do! :smt040

As I remember it, the donkey was actually harnessed to a cart that some old guy had. Don't remember if the donkey was actually in motion at the time but it was a pretty good argument for gun control in the rural areas; although one could argue it actually was pretty good gun control to drop the donkey with one shot - perhaps a visit to the optometrist?
