Photos please...
 

Hi,

Just been on the NZ forum they have a "great NZ picture thread", I was wondering if there is anyone out there who would mind sharing some photos of Canada with us. It would really help people like me (who haven't even been there yet) get an idea of what life in Canada is like.

Anyone got any pictures?...

Re: Photos please...
 

These were taken in Kananaski in January

If you click on the pbase link beneath my signature in this post it will take you to a site with a series of galleries of pictures of mine.

Once there click on the small picture to take you to the appropriate gallery then once again on the smaller pictures to see a larger version. :)

Cheers
Steve

These are Newcastle Island towards Nanaimo, in between islands to the south of Nanaimo, and Strathcona Lake, all Vancouver Island.

These are clear-cutting near Port Renfrew, a logging campsite lake in the early morning, (taken same time as my avatar), near Port Renfrew, and happy campers at Lake Cowichan, all Vancouver Island.

Here are some from last November. They were taken in at Fairmont Hot Springs and Sunshine. And the first is pretty obvious.

Re: Photos please...
 

These are: bridge jumping near Long beach, Englishman River falls and the size of a logging truck!

Re: Photos please...

This is how snowy it gets downtown these 1 1/2 inches of snow were a big deal here I can tell you - Bring on the soft southern jessie comments now! :D

Re: Photos please...

Go to the photo gallery area and click on "Around the world in pictures", then choose Canada?

Re: Photos please...
 

The problem with using pictures to see "what life in Canada is like" is that few people include pictures of commuter trains, office desks and supermarkets in their albums. Our blog is mostly pictures but it's more Yuppies emulating The Good Life than it is typical life in Canada.

Re: Photos please...
 

Just a few taken the last couple of weeks. Lake Huron was frozen to about a mile out enabling us to walk out quite a way.

The squirrel is a regular visitor to the window right here at the computer.

You've started something here, you know!

Re: Photos please...
 

Re. Your blog. What exactly is the latest picture of? (The mysterious object on the deck.) Also, lucky that you are still with us rather than trapped in the back of your van body. Without the cellphone how long would it have taken for your absence to be noted?:D

Re: Photos please...
 

I'm not an expert in these matters but I believe that to be an ornamental bedpan. At least I hope it was ornamental, it was on the lawn.

I would have been ok, I would have been wanted for dinner or when my autistic child next needed to be pulled out of something "flithy, vile, absolutely horrible". Your point is well taken though, the virtual m-i-l frets massively about the prospect of her daughter dying in a ditch unnoticed by anyone after a horse or tractor mishap.

Re: Photos please...
 

I assume that you could indeed supply these kind of photos if requested though. :lol:

Re: Photos please...
 

By all means, I even have a picture I sent when I first arrived of the hell that is the Square One area of Mississauga. I expect I can also find some more bed pan pictures if there's a demand.

Re: Photos please...
 

Whilst I'd agree with dbd that what we really need are pictures of homes, commutes, offices, shops, that dodgy subdivision/street/suburb we don't really like to stop in, potholes, etc etc, I don't have any of those to hand. So here are some random pictures of Newfoundland for your delight.

Re: Photos please...
 

Agreed. It's tricky though. I got caught taking photos in a grocery store... the Safeway goons thought I was a 'price checker' from Walmart. :D "Do I look like someone with a job?!" I was insulted on so many levels.

Re: Photos please...
 

I hear you. Several times I've tried to get some shots of the ugly tranny and been spat at for my trouble.

Re: Photos please...
 

Errrr. Being a redneck is a full time career! :mad:

A thankless one at that...

Re: Photos please...
 

much better than the swindon-like pics on the other thread....:rofl:

pic 4 is amazing- did you take it?? :thumbsup:

Re: Photos please...
 

Yes I was wondering that! It looks a bit hazardous! Rather him than me is all I can say.....:eek:

Re: Photos please...
 

I wish I had ;) someone at school lives on Protection & has loads of fantastic photos

Re: Photos please...
 

Thanks for all your photos (sorry had logged on as husband when I started this thread- hes still keeping that awful name "betterskierthanthewife", totally untrue).

Keep them coming!

This is last winter in St John's NL - the shovelling guy is my DH, the small guy my son and the teddy belongs to my son's teacher - we needed to do a school report on our visit. The 18 wheeler driver came back and saw us so kindly agreed for Bear to have a photo op with him.

Re: Photos please...
 

OK, Can't place the first pic, second your son appears to on New Gower St outside the Delta, third is a few of the 'posh' end of Mount Pearl?, 4th is Signal Hill and the 5th down on the harbourfront with a Woodward Group ship in the background. Am I right or what?.:D
