Canada Vacation

Randomletters · Nov 4, 2005, 09:29 PM

Just some pictures i thought were cool/came out good, from my trip to canada:

This was at the Toronto science center, can you spot the funny?

I could fit my fist in an artery

CN Tower took me like 5 mins to work up the corage to stand on the glass.

And from the bottom

This was near the CN tower

Some small relativly unknown waterfall between canada and US, Made famous in Superman 2, When lois jumped in to try to prove clark was superman, her efforts were futile, clark used his heat vision to cause a branch to fall in the water which lois grabbed onto and floated into a mini "cove" if you will, a couple hours later though clark tripped in the hotel room and his hand went into the fire only to come out unscathed.

Only "artistic" shot

Pretty unimpressive croc but it made a good photo

Tree kangaroo

Saddest monkey ever

Thats it for now the rest are pretty out of focus or are just shots of random animals at the toronto zoo.

next time you get a chance.... go to say alberta or saskatchewan....

(don't go to regina though ..erg. terrible place)

Toronto was relativly close 9-11hr drive, alberta and saskatchewan are a bit too far to drive and honestly if i gotta fly id go somewhere down south.

Or for an even better experience, keep going west to bc, the best province in canada...most scenic anyway...

Very nice pics, the one of the cn tower (standing on the glass) scare me through my monitor

well i won't completely disagree.... the mountains and views there are just as excellent as in alberta or saskatchewan.

I know of alot of people from BC that have come out here and just love how they can see for miles on end, with not nearly as much trees and not as hard harsh rough edges

it's good to be deverse... i love BC.... Alberta is just as excellent.. and saskatchewan is just bloody sweet .. (unless you drive... roads are terrible)

Want hot.. sunny weather? Saskatchewan is your oasis... tons of beaches that span for miles on end and fresh water to swim in.

Nice pics! I've also stood on that glass floor, I actually jumped on it with all my might! People thought I was nuts but come on, they build these things with a safety factor!

As for Sask vs BC, please there's no contest! Majestic mountains, glaciers, fjords vs a flat wheat field as far as the eye can see!

At least Alberta's on the edge of the mountains. Poor Manitoba...

Ney · Nov 5, 2005, 02:30 PM

What about Quebec? Is it really that unimpressive?

riles9262 · Nov 5, 2005, 09:02 PM

I've never been there to check out the scenery, but a lot of people there speak french so I'd have to say....no I won't say anything

oh my, please... feel free to go to the places that are unique to saskatchewan.. other then just mindlessly looking at the obvious

... i don't go to BC to sit and stair at all the same trees... i hope you don't come to saskatchewan to mindlessly stair at the wheat fields...

I'm sorry, I'm sure the corn fields are just as fascinating!

So what natural wonders can one "stair" at in Sask? Lakes? We've all got them... They look more impressive with reflected mountains, and surrounded by giant redwoods.

On the contrary, Quebec is gorgeous! The mountains and trees are smaller than those on the west coast, but still beautiful. Gorgeous colours in the fall when the maples turn red and lots of snow in the winter. BC is just rainy. Quebec city is the oldest in North America, it looks almost like the old towns in Europe.

What about Montreal? Did anyone of you go there?

As you can see, I'm from Brazil, but I plan to go to Canada someday (Quebec province).
And yes. I'm even studying french.

I like about two hours away from Montreal. It's a nice city depending on where you go. The downtown area is nice and has some very nice old architectures whilst other popular places like St-Catherine street is a never-ending row of strip clubs, tattoo parlors and bars.

If you do go to Montreal though, I'd go during the "Just for Laughs" festival.

Or during "Les Francofolies", an awsome free music festival.

nice pics. if you were at niagara falls, you should have swung by 'Niagara By The Lake' which is one of the most picturesque towns in Canada.

I'm a 3rd generation Torontonian, there's lots to see and photograph here but you have to look for it. A world famous photoblog, 'daily dose of imagery', is based mainly on Toronto pics if you want to see some interesting stuff.

PS If you get several hours north of Toronto, we have some really nice highlands in the Canadian Shield. Algonquin Park has some nice vistas, but Kilarney Provincial Park is truly gorgeous, especially in the fall.

PPS Banff National Park, especially after late September, after tourist season but before ski season, is the best we have to offer. The closest I've come to a religious experience.

My heart was pounding just looking at the picture of the glass on the CN tower

I NEVER would have stood on that, regardless of how safe they claim it to be

calidan · Nov 27, 2005, 03:23 AM

Did they say how much that glass floor holds? I wonder how many people it would take to break it?

Randomletters · Dec 2, 2005, 02:09 AM
