I'm sounding like a broken record here; but, Regina's skyline, as viewed from the north, resembles a low-calorie Dallas, TX. (Now with 12 glass towers and counting.)

Found some cool aerials of Fredericton from a few years back. It give a better idea of how Fredericton developed because there are no leaves on the trees thus you can see it haha. (I don't Know who took the pictures but if someone sees it and it is theirs, just comment.)





Here is are two summer shots of Fredericton from the Tourism Fredericton Flickr page...see all the leaves, lol:

Unusual view of Halifax's North End. It's a very mixed neighbourhood -- there are some great old buildings but there are also a lot of ugly, ill-conceived housing projects. The little red apartment building in the lower right is the corner of North and Gottingen.

You don't see pictures of Niagara Falls on here very often. I'm just back from a two week trip to Ontario and thought I would share a few photos that I took.

We'll start with a couple of pictures of the downtown skyline highlighting the massive hotels overlooking the falls.




Now a few pictures of the Clifton Hill area. There is no question Niagara falls is Canada's answer to Las Vegas or Atlantic City.....






And finally the obligatory photo of the "Maid of the Mist"

The last time I was in Niagara Falls that drop tower ride wasn't operating. Did it close down for a while?

The Skywheel was fun.

I agree that Fredericton is quite charming. It's both bucolic and quite well endowed for a city it's size simultaneously. An interesting "down home" mix.

The sad thing about Freddy is that it is stuck in the middle of nowhere. From Woodstock to Fredericton is a one hour drive on the TCH through densely forested land. After Freddy, it's another 90 minute drive through NB's nether regions to Moncton. There are only two exits to Fredericton from the TCH, and you can't see the city from either exit. If you aren't paying attention, you could bypass the city without even knowing that it was there....

The new four lane TCH from Moncton to Woodstock is a great road, but the designers placed the right of way through the wilderness. It would have been better if the highway were closer to the Saint John River west of Freddy and if it had followed a more southerly alignment towards Sussex east of the capital. At least that way you might form the impression that there are actual living human beings resident in the province (in addition to the moose).

NB was a "drive through" province before. It's even worse now!!! You can cross the province on the highway and think no one actually lives here. This is the worst impression you could possibly give a tourist.......

So true. I have driven on this highway countless times (Moncton to Quebec/SJ to Quebec) and yes, the new highway is atrociously boring and does not offer a fair impression of this part of the province. Altough the last time I drove on it, I had more time on my hands and decided to use the old highway from Fredericton to Perth Andover which was nice and I have to admit, quite scenic.

It's also safe to say that something went terribly wrong there a long time ago, lol.

Yeah, it certainly isn't the nicest. But the Falls make up for it!
