South Stormont 1965 Ford F-750/King-Seagrave Pumper

On Thursday, September 12, 2019 I went to Newington, Ontario to photograph the Community Bell there, for my blog site, Memorials in Ottawa. While doing that I found it hard not to notice the antique fire truck down the street.

The 1965 Ford F-70/King-Seagrave pumper stood proud and, obviously, lovingly restored and maintained, in front of South Stormont Fire Station Number 3. How could I not photograph it. I share the pictures here.

Canadian Space Services former NATTO SATCOM Building

I went to Carp on August 26, 2019, to photograph memorials for my blog site, Memorials in Ottawa. I went to the Canadian Space Services headquarters on Craig Side Road. I thought the building there might have a historical plaque. It didn't, but it's an interesting building so I photographed it anyway, and decided to post the pictures here.
