Welcome to Chris Butler's updated web site!

Hi, I'm Chris and live with my lovely fiancée, Valorie in the west-end of Ottawa, Canada - the nation's Capital in a community known as Kanata.

No end of cool stuff here. Among Chris' favourite things are:

Model Railroading in HO, Sn3 and On3 scales and gauges with a special emphasis on 3' narrow gauge in O-scale (On3) somewhere in the Pacific Northwest region during the
1880 - 1920 era.

Home computing, networking and the Internet.

Photography in Digital SLR and occasionally in 35mm film SLR formats. You can view some of my work by visiting my Google Picasa Web albums Internet cloud.

Classical music, Jazz, Blues Rock, modern and classic Rock (such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Free, Tom Petty, Jimi Hendrix, Beatles etc.), as well, recent Robert Plant, Roger Waters and David Gilmour releases.
