Brockville Ontario - Canada - Philips Light Show - 365 days a year - Former train tunnel The entire 525 m (1722 ft) of the tunnel was installed with Philips Color Kinetics ColorGraze MX4 Powercore fixtures, transforming the mostly unused railway tunnel into a visually stunning walkway connecting the north and south portals. Grazing fixtures were specifically chosen for the inside of the railway in order to showcase the unique architectural and geological components of the 155 year old tunnel, while ColorBlast Powercore gen4 fixtures were installed at both portals to invitingly illuminate the entrances. The lighting inside the tunnel runs a dynamic “Philips Light Show” 365 days a year, drawing in locals and tourists alike. Citizens can even request custom lightshows for events held on the waterfront. The Brockville Railway Tunnel was reopened to the public on August 12, 2017 to coincide with the Canada 150 celebrations taking place across the Great White North this year. Already a hotbed of tourist activity in the summer months, the newly restored Brockville Railway Tunnel serves as a perfect gateway between the section of the city known as ‘The Gorge’ and the waterfront, drawing as much as 30,000 more visitors to the downtown area. 1193

Sublime Island Archipelago: Thousand Islands in Fall Gazing upon the Thousand Islands in Ontario, Canada, one is treated to a breathtaking aerial view that showcases the stunning beauty of this enchanting region. The islands dot the deep blue waters of Lake Ontario, their shorelines a mosaic of rocky outcrops and sandy stretches, inviting visitors to explore their hidden treasures. With the arrival of fall, the lush greenery transforms into a vibrant symphony of reds, oranges, and yellows, adding a warm, autumnal glow to the already picturesque landscape. This panorama captures the essence of life on the river, where quaint homes and cottages are scattered throughout the islands, offering a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Each island contributes to the unique charm of the Thousand Islands, regardless of their size or popularity, from the shores of Battersby, Chub, and Cockburn to the lesser-known gems like De Rottenburg, Everest, and Fisher. The sky above is a celestial canvas, painted in shades of blue that seamlessly blend with the tranquil waters below. The ethereal quality of the scene is further enhanced by the idyllic beauty of the islands, making the Thousand Islands a majestic panorama of pristine wilderness, colorful scenery, and shoreline splendor. This captivating destination, expertly captured by Duncan Rawlinson, offers a glimpse of paradise for all who seek the tranquility and natural beauty of Ontario’s remarkable landscape. <a href="https://Duncan.co/sublime-island-archipelago-thousand-islands-in-fall" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Duncan.co/sublime-island-archipelago-thousand-islands-in-...</a>
