Shoal Tower

Shoal Tower is a Martello tower located in the harbour (Confederation Basin) of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, directly opposite Kingston City Hall. It is one of four such towers built in the 1840s to protect Kingston’s harbour and the entrance to the Rideau Canal

Built in 1847, this limestone tower is 11 m high and 16.5 m in diameter. The guns of Shoal Tower defended the approaches of Kingston Harbour. A dispute between Great Britain and the United States over the boundary between British Columbia and Oregon that threatened to lead to war and to the invasion of Canada (see Oregon crisis) prompted their construction. Eventually Shoal Tower was abandoned.

It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1930, and is part of the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site

Top Five Featured images on Red Bubble in 2013

It has been an eternity since I last posted a blog entry. March 13, 2013 to be precise. So I guess I am way over due.

2013 was an amazing year for me on Red Bubble. I had a total of 239 images receive a combined total of 502 features. So I thought I'd take the time today to post my five most featured images on RedBubble in 2013.

My most featured image in 2013 on Red Bubble (in fact my most featured image ever) on Red Bubble received eleven features was this image of the HMCS Kingston when it came to visit Kingston, Ontario.
HMCS Kingston

My second most featured image with ten features was one of a Great Mormon Butterfly photographed at the Montreal Botanical Gardens located in Montreal Quebec.
Great Mormon

Coming in at third place with nine features is this image of sunflowers taken in downtown Kingston, Ontario during a sidewalk sale.
Sun worshippers

In fourth place, also with nine features, is this image taken of a soybean field along County route 2 in Napanee, Ontario.
Nearing Harvest Time

My fifth most featured image in 2013 on Red Bubble with eight features is this White Morpho butterfly. This image was also taken at the Montreal Botanical Gardens.


I know I said my top five, but there was another image that also had eight features on Red Bubble in 2013. And that would be this image of the old Washburn Mill (currently Doner Studio at the Mill) and Lower Brewers Locks on the Cataraqui river in Kingston, Ontario.


Clicking on any of the above images will bring you to my RedBubble pages where one could, if they so desired, purchase the images as a Greeting Cards, Matted, Laminated, Mounted, Canvas or Framed Prints and Posters.
