this is a place called Elora Quarry. The water is a greenish hue due to the limestone under the water. this is extremely deep and is a natural spring. the history of it that i understand is that it started off as a mine, but they hit a spring and it flooded so quickly that theres actually still vehicles down deep under the water.

anyways.. this is actually 3 photos that I took combined with Canon's excellent software PhotoStitch

Those pix are to DIE for, Spyder!!!!  Esp the covered bridge.  Covered bridges are cool.  We're losing them something fierce down here. :cry:

In the 1st pic of the quarry...it's 3 individual pix put together??????

thanks! :) went out and took them today. That covered bridge is in a little town relatively close to here called West Mountrose. They're just as rare around here.. thats the only one I know of anywhere around here.

to answer your question, yea, the first picture was 3 individual pictures I took, and then used the Canon PhotoStitch software to make 1 pic out of the 3. it works extremely well as you can see :)

I have to say Spyder those look fantastic. The best yet :) I've experimented with photostitching but unfortunately my results were not so good. Either of those shots would look great framed on the living room wall. Well done (Y)

The gorge reminds me of the blue lake we have down here. It is the crater of an extinct volcano. At certain times of the year it turns a brilliant azure blue color. Magic :)

    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
    • Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
    • Making me care less about LibreOffice with every tantrum they throw.
    • And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
