Not exactly sure why but I love that last Toronto pic. Reminds me of my travels in London and Berlin for some reason. Must be that classical building to the left reminding me of London and the CN Tower reminding me of the Fernsehturn. Anyways, I wish I could jump into that picture right now... or be teleported through space and time to Toronto on a random summer's evening. :)

Wow, the CN tower "covered with vegetation" pic is amazing! I love the stormy sky. It feels kinda tropical.

Heh I didn't know Duluth looked like this... It looks so... err... lovely! *cough*

Actually the Appalachians aren't that close to Montreal. The "mountains" shown above are part of the Monteregian hills (mount Royal's family): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monteregian_Hills

I think these two are mount St-Bruno with mount St-Hilaire behind.

[Aylmer]

The appalatians are near Gaspésie down to Georgia...

:)

[Rico Rommheim]

I always considered the Monteregie chain part of the Appalache but at closer inspection (on my map) it appears that you are right! Not even close! It took 21 years but at least now I know! :(

[Aylmer]

The Monteregie mountains come from the Laurentians, and ancient mountain chain that extended from Mexico to Moroco to Québec to Scandanavia...

This was during Pangéa.

I love the contrast between Ottawa and Toronto advertisements on this page.

This afternoon's rain, snow and hail storm, depending on one's local micro climate, resulted in downtown being simultaneously drenched and bathed in odd light. I happened to have my camera at the ready.

We had a very low tide today and it made the new habitat Island appear to have doubled in size. The daylighted stream will empty into False Creek through this micro bay so there should always be some water present here in the future. For now the stream is damed and the water is being pumped into the creek on the other side of the island.

Some dark metal obelisks have been added to the south side of the mini-bay in the new part of the Seawall in front of the Olympic Village. I like the enclosure they offer and I believe there are also lights.

A closer view of the sentinals. They appear to be quite shiny and almost a dark, burnished maroon brass colour. I like them. They are my favourite element of the industrial motif of the site, public memory and all.

hahaha Why do french daycares in english cities always have such rediculous names?
One here in Hamilton is called 'Le Ballon Rouge'... 'The Red Ball' Daycare! hahaha

[vid]

That has nothing on "Jumbo Gardens Daycare". We have an entire neighbourhood called "Jumbo Gardens" and why it was called that is lost to history.

I grew up in Jumbo Gardens. Don't.

In english cities you say? We got the same kind of names in Quebec. I think they're just trying to make some cute names.

This little shot by Calvin Sun (http://www.flickr.com/photos/superesc/) is rather neat. For those not in the know, this tree is in the middle of one of the Stampede parking lots, which is in the east Beltline. Accordingly, Mr. Sun (http://www.flickr.com/photos/superesc/) has given the shot the title, Tree of Urbanization
