I hope to be posting more over the coming weeks as time permits. I tried to organize a volunteer photo shoot at the DDO back in 2007 (after the University of Toronto announced that it would be sold), but the University would not allow it. The original plan was to give a group of great photographers a chance to document the entire DDO buildings and property — in other words, we wanted to honour the men and women who worked at DDO (up until July 2008) and show off the historic telescopes and the fabulous architecture — and the heritage and natural beauty — of the site.  But thanks to U of T, it was not to be. The next best thing was to organize a Save the DDO Flickr Group. That group currently features more than 150 photographs from 11 photographers and provides a wonderful overview of the DDO buildings and grounds. Now I’m adding some of the interior photos that were taken over the past year or so.
