Another Twitter contingency note. I'll keep at it here for as long as possible but the phone booths, the landscapes and city scapes from across Canada are now also appearing here: @ianrausten@photog.social If you are also over there, please let me know so that I can follow you.

Near Colchester, @EssexCountyON just over a week ago along the Lake Erie shoreline. (Chamonix 57N-1, 300mm f9 Nikkor M, @KodakProFilmBiz Ektar 100 pushed one stop)

Baysville, Ontario, August. After I made the exposure, the driver of the Jeep drove off with the pump pistol still in the filler. A bit of gas spilled and there was much shouting. (Crown Graphic, 135mm f4.7 Xenar, Kodak TXP 320)

Industrial Park, Kelowna, British Columbia. This appeared to be some sort of food processing plant which would make sense given the area's fruit growing in industry (Chamonix 57-N, 180mm f5.6 APO Symmar, @KodakProFilmBiz Ektar 100 +1 stop)

The Belle Vista Motel in Marmora, Ontario in 2016. It's still hanging on. Last time I was by the sign made from 2x4s was no longer illuminated.

The city limits of Kelowna, Columbia. The wildfires came not long after this was taken but to a different part of the area. (Chamonix 57N1, 8.5 in f6.3 Kodak Commercial Ektar, @KodakProFilmBiz TXP 320)

More of the Irving family's holdings in foggy Saint John, New Brunswick. The Irving Oil refinery is purportedly Canada's largest and produces most of Boston's gasoline. (Shen Hao 810 AC, 250 mm f5.6 Nikkor W, @KodakProFilmBiz TXP 320)

2/2 The weather did seem to make the park's warm and dry visitor center extra popular even for Thanksgiving. (Mamiya 7ii, 50mm f4.5, Fuji 400H)

1/2 While I was just passing through on the highway, masses of leaf admirers in Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park were undeterred by the dreadful weather on (Canadian) Thanksgiving this week. The West Gate. (Mamiya 7ii, 50mm f4.5, Fuji 400H)

The first of a few views of the Irving family's presence in Saint John, New Brunswick: Irving Pulp and Paper. Forestry was one of the family's businesses before K.C. Irving came along. (Shen Hao FCL-810 AC, 240mm f5.6 Nikkor W, @KodakProFilmBiz TXP 320)

And yet another payphone. Actually two. In an arrangement I've never seen previously among the 120 or so that I've shot. A little kiosk for fine weather, a full-on phone booth for winter. Rochester Street, Ottawa. (Chamonix45N1, 180m f5.6 APOSymmar, @KodakProFilmBizTXP 320)

Time for another payphone. This one on Montreal Road in Ottawa's Vanier neighborhood has some unsightly company (Chamonix 57 N1, 180mm f5.6 APO Symmar, @KodakProFilmBiz TriX 320)

Another from my pay phone hunt: the dairy bar in Barry's Bay, Ontario. When there was still a bus it was also the bus station so presumably this was once a well used booth. (Shen Hao 810-AC, 14 in. f6.3 Commercial Ektar, @KodakProFilmBiz TXP320)

Resuming my pinhole views of every hotel room in Canada my work as a correspondent takes me. The Delta Hotel in foggy Saint John, New Brunswick. The rooms are on top of a struggling shopping mall. (@ILFORDPhoto Harman TiTan 4x5, @KodakProFilmBiz Ektar 100)

St. John's Newfoundland. That's a parking ticket machine under the tarp--at least I hope so. (@leica_camera M Monochrom, the original one, 35mm f1.4 Summilux)

2/2 There is the usual assortment of ice cream and gift shops in onetime gold mining town. As I recall, those tiny buildings are playhouses.

1/2 Rock Creek, British Columbia. The hamlet sits at the junction of Hwy 33 north to Kamloops on Hwy 3, the Crow's Nest Hwy that run along the province's south. This is at one of its two shops and gas bars. (Chamonix 57N1, 240mm f5.6 Nikkor W, @KodakProFilmBiz Ektar 100 +1 stop)
