All these pictures be mine, taken 2007-04-22.

^^^ Victoria Avenue downtown, looking east.

^^^ Corner of Victoria and Scarth.

^^^ The Yaeger Block. Likely to be torn down for street level parking. If you look closely, ...

^^^ Beavers!

^^^ Top four floors of the Cornwall Professional Building. One of the few remaining buildings with gargoyles. Hooray for lack of wide angle lens.

^^^ 3x closeup of the bird at the top.

None of it is natural, it is all man made, the lake, every tree hand planted, etc.

This is just to show the stark contrast of the City limits in terms of trees and the surrounding prairie-land... I did not take these pictures:

I've known that since I was 5 years old and it still blows my mind when I look at those pictures.

You are one of the few non-Canadians who know how to properly say it then?
