Drainsploration

Fascinating stuff down under. And I don't mean Australia. Down underground that is. I came across this very interesting interview on 'bldg blog' about the new urban explorers who seek their own kind of adventure in storm sewers.

In particular, Michael Cook, writer, photographer, and one of these urban explorers, operates a website called Vanishing Point on this very subject. As far as I can tell, Ottawa is mentioned for its own "Governor General's Drain". Check out the interview: Drains of Canada: An Interview with Michael Cook. Somehow, I think this spot missed rob mclennan's attention in his forthcoming book "Ottawa: The Unknown City" (available this October).
