I've just come back from my visit to the Canadian National Exhibition on its final day of operation. As those of you who were following my Instagram account know, I saw quite a few different things today. I made the decision to enter the Ex through the Princes' Gates oN Strachan Avenue because that entrance was closest to Star Trek: "50 Artists. 50 Years.", an exhibition of fan art.

It was not hard to find it.

Leonard Nimoy's photographic work "Hand in Vulcan Gesture" featured prominently in the front of the exhibit.

I liked Joe Corroney's Starfleet recruiting poster.

Mick Cassidy's "Risk Is Our Business" made good use of the conventions of the comic book.

Many of these works had a sense of humour to them.

I did a selfie in front of a painting of the TNG cast, making it a temporary profile picture on Facebook. Cutting off Pulaski was not intentional!

Outside the exhibit, in the main hall of Exhibition Place, my attention was caught by this tribute in sculpted sand to the TOS crew.
