Blog Guelph: On The Edge of Speed
I'm told through a very reliable source, that source being Stanley, founder of the Annual Stanley’s' Cup Canocky Game, that skating on Allan's Mill Pond rink is happening.
In his email Stan claims, " It has been 5 years since it (the ice) was so good. The only cost of admission is assistance with shoveling when the snow does come."
Allan's Mill Pond is the section of the Speed between the Heffernan Pedestrian Bridge and the Macdonnel Street Bridge, sort of in front of the River Run Centre. Likely all this will be very obvious - what with people skating and all.
Dezso beautifully captured these silly walk-on-thin-ice geese fooling around on yet another section of the Mighty Speed River.

Blog Guelph: Ice Feathers
A few years ago, in January, I was traveling with my mate in Zanzibar, one of the Spice Islands off the coast of Tanzania, East Africa. Daily temperatures always exceeded 45C.
After a couple of weeks where nothing was cold, we ventured into the 'fancy hotel' with our sights set on a cocktail - or more specifically, an ice cube in a cocktail. Seemed you could take the Canadian out of winter but couldn't quite get the winter out of a Canadian.

Blog Guelph: Orangeness Day Premise
Orange is the colour of creativity. It's zany. Fun. Cheerful. And orange is able to work wonders with the mood that settles on a grey January day.
In 2004 I simply published the date on the calendar that I produce. People who noticed instantly took to the idea. Just because they could. Celebrating orange is very easy.
So there you have it. Orangeness Day got made up because I like orange. And by the look of it, a whack of you like orange too.
Enjoy.

Blog Guelph: Matthew Bell - Life Carved in Stone
This will be the third set in the three part series about one of Guelph's talented stonemasons, Matthew Bell. My thanks go out to photographer Cool Baby for feeding me this incredible story.
To view part one and two of the Matthew Bell series, please check through the January archives by clicking on the link in the right hand sidebar. Part one appeared on January 15th. Part Two was posted on January 17th.
Matthew Bell carved the front of The Church of Our Lady Immaculate.
In my opinion, this in itself more than sums up Matthew Bells impact on our community.
There is a myth that he died from a fall while working on the church but there is nothing to support that story in the historic archives of the church or the Guelph Mercury.

Blog Guelph: The Mysterious Lady, The Burglary and The Lost Love.
This story comes from the brochure put out by the Woodlawn Cemetery.
" The mysterious lady appeared at the cemetery one morning, placed by an unknown benefactor (sometime between 1903 and 1905).
The statue has been attributed to Matthew Bell. It was one of the statues stolen from the grounds of 40 Albert street. The house at one time had belonged to Bell.
The Grundy family, the owners at the time of the theft, spent summers in Kincardine. While they were away several carved figures were stolen from the grounds.
Local lore speculates that an unknown admirer placed the statue at the grave of Clara Snowden (d 1903 aged 36 yrs).
The limestone statue would have probably been carved during the winter months from a block of soft limestone selected from Bell's own quarry on Water Street."

For instance. Scratched Cornea went exploring down the James Street Trail and found the well endowed Spoon Tree. The very lovely trail starts at the east end of James Street and goes well beyond Victoria Road. Bring your own spoon.
Additional regional trail adventures are beautifully recorded by Guelph photo blogger Grand Fogger. He's even featured the very talented Jessy Bell-Smith's latest music video on one of his posts. Have a look. Have a listen.

Blog Guelph: Matthew Bell - A Stonemason's Story continues...
On Monday I introduced the Guelph stonemason Matthew Bell by showing off the homes he built and lived in. Thanks to our Flickr photographer Cool Baby - our exploration of Matthew's body of work continues with todays series.
The rather gruesome face is perched over the right hand side window on the main floor of Old City Hall. The mayor's office window is directly above. It's pretty evident that carving such a piece would require incredible talent .
Having worked in the arts for 25 years in this town, I can proudly claim that creative talent is an asset that Guelph continues to have - in spades!

" Built circa 1857 for Arthur Wells, “Manor Park” is one of the principle stone residences in the City of Guelph. Built from limestone quarried on the property, the house, which faces the Speed River, originally occupied a 10 acre site known as “Wells’ Grove” under the ownership of Arthur Wells."

Blog Guelph: A Story About Matthew Bell
Blog Guelph would like to start the week off with a series of photos that focus on our architectural heritage.
Matthew Bell arrived in Guelph sometime after 1850. According to Cool Baby - to whom this series of photos and research is credited - Bell appears on the 1871 Guelph census as a Stonemason from England. Our local King of History, Mr. Gil Stelter has written that Bell arrived in Guelph from Newcastle.
This house, located at 281 Water Street was the first house built by Bell in 1856-60. Cool Baby tells me that this photo is part of an inventory of photos stored at our main library. CB did a funky edit job on the image to erase an unfortunate addition.

Recently while on one of those meandering Sunday walks, I ended up in this backyard - not realizing any of the historic significance of my location - yet curious about the large squared limestone chunks strewn about.
Apparently the house was used as the servant quarters for 25 Manor Park.

Blog Guelph: The Life & Death of William Shakespeare
Guelph Artist Nick Craine is in the midst of creating a new graphic novel - with William Shakespeare as the central character. The above panels are an example of his effort and the following excerpt is part of Nick's artist statement.
The decision to depict Will’s life as a graphic novel has become a guiding principal of the piece. Will Shakespeare was working in the gutter of the arts in his own time. His decision to work in the theatre was not a passive act of whimsy. Rather, theatre was his entry point to survival. Having no standing in the world and no interest in following in his fathers’ footsteps, the theatre allowed him to capitalize on his most valuable asset-- his wit. Secondly, it allowed him to foster his rich internal life. In exchange for this safe harbor, Will elevated the medium from disposable pop to meaningful complex structure and eventually masterpiece. The comic book is the artistic gutter of our times. To portray Will’s life inside a comic strip narrative makes the telling itself a relentless artistic action. Using the basic vernacular of comics I insert complex narrative structures and call on different modes of visual depiction to create a meaningful portrayal – in essence sculpting high art out of bubble gum. The action subverts expectations and parallels Will’s own experiences.Join Nick this evening at The Shakespeare Made In Canada Festival's Opening Reception where he will be unveiling the 24 page excerpt of the 300 page graphic novel"Parchment of Light: The Life and Death of William Shakespeare".
Macdonald Stewart Art Centre - tonight (January 11) at 7:30 pm.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Roof Tops
I'm starting off the week by focusing upwards.
Today's series looks at the top of our town. Downtown Guelph's skyline boasts some pretty cool roof tops - do you know where this one is?

Blog Guelph: The Guelph Armory
Photographer Denim was obviously looking waaaaay up when she took this snap of Guelph's own castle like armory. You'll find this nifty turret-top on Wyndham Street N..

Blog Guelph: Heritage Jail House
About 600 acres of land on the east side of the city, between York Road, Victoria Road, Stone Road and Watson Road is currently owned by the province.
There are growing concerns within the city that this chunk of property is about to go on the chopping block - without our imput or blessing. This building is part of the closed jail site that is part of this land.

Blog Guelph: A Spiring
No photo collection of Guelph building tops could be considered complete without including the Church of Our Lady.
Shall we offer thanks to the people from days gone by that saw fit to build this spectacular structure - and hope that today's leaders further enhance this nationally significant site.

Blog Guelph: Global Warming?
I've just returned from a trip downtown - me improperly dressed in winter gear - and everyone else decked out in short sleeve shirts and shades!
I will admit this photo is a slight exaggeration - okay it's actually a Hillside Festival shot - but still I ask you - where's the winter?

Blog Guelph: Blue Crane
Cinnamon Gurl captures two marvels in one shot.
First - the new exciting feature of downtown Guelph - the giant crane at the new city administration centre construction site on Carden Street.
Second - an additional thrill is rippling through town thanks to the return of the sun and blue sky after a very long grey period.
