A quiet country life is something we don't see much of on this site.

I wish our big cities offered access to more of that tranquil to enrich people with a more diverse range of experiences.

If all of Vancouver was built like the pictures below, I'd trade away all its skyscrapers. And it'll still be denser.

The previous pics of Québec were not mine, so no need to be nervous. In fact, thank you very much for your pictures. I wished we could see more of Saskatoon and Regina around here

A-ma-zing Quebec set! Thanks for the work!

Thanks for the encouragement!
I haven't really taken much for pics of Saskatoon because I know there are a lot of photographers with so much more amazing photos than mine, there are quite a few Saskatoon and Regina posters that post fantastic pics but seem to mostly post only on the Manitoba/Sask regional forums.

Much nicer than my Saskatoon photos.

Merci Martin,
Venant de toi, je sais que tu comprends exactement le temps que ça peut prendre pour rassembler toutes ces photos... Je te renvoie le compliment pour la mise en lumière de Montréal!

Très belles photos Laceoflight. On voie bien la nouvelle Place des Canotiers (qui va grandement embellir la Basse-Ville) et aussi la densité du quartier Saint-Jean-Baptiste qui lui aurait grandement besoin de rénovations à certains endroits.

Those Quebec City pics are spectacular! It's a shame that the tallest towers in Quebec city are as unappealing as they are. I wish they'd get reclad and brought up to date a bit. That said, with all that historical richness... possibly the loveliest city in all of Canada.

I had them posted, but they were hotlinked via Facebook (like all my photo threads, because Facebook automatically resizes things to a convient scale) and then Facebook changed the hotlinks or whatever, causing all my photos on SSP to vanish.

I'm from Hamilton, but I've been living in Thunder Bay/Ottawa for the past while. I knew TBay to Winnipeg was about 9 hours, which was a pleasant nights sleep on a greyhound, then Regina proved a similar trip, then Calgary the same, and before I knew it I was doing a ten day tour of Western Canada by Greyhound in the spring of 2015. (My bus ticket was very interesting with all the 12-15 hour 'layovers' in each city.)

Saskatoon honestly felt weirdly like Thunder Bay (and a little like Hamilton) to me. At one point I could basically swear I was in TBay while walking down 20 St W, it was so much like Algoma St. It's a very cute little city, and one I would not feel overly opposed to spending more time in (if only it were a bit closer, or I a bit richer and able to afford all that travelling...).

In hour of the civic election being held today where we'll elect a new Mayor and City Council, some more Saskatoon love:

I'm sorry i won't get to see your pics Beedok, But sounds like you had a wonderful journey touring The Prairies!. I've never been to TBay or Ottawa but fascinated to make same comparisons someday with your neck of the woods. I've heard of Saskatoon similarities with Ottawa because for the river and vibe of some neighbourhoods etc, definitely some differences too. TBay similarities are a first i've heard of before but I could see maybe a one off street like 20th St West being similar to some streets in some other cities.

20th St in Saskatoon use to be the epicentre of the 'Hood in alphabet city' with lettered avenues and numbered streets in the city. Its grit, prostitution, higher crime rate, 20th Street has since gentrified to include some cafes, sporting goods stores, comic/games/arcade stores etc & Roxy Theatre is one of my favourite historic venues in the city. 19th Street just a block away has had major transformation over the past months & years with Farmers Market, Drift cafe/lounge, and The Banks http://www.thebanks.ca/.

I hope you got to see more of Saskatoon than 20th Street, such as Broadway Ave, River landscape with Bessborough Hotel & bridges and the 110 year old University of Saskatchewan with Collegiate Gothic Architecture, rated one of the top campuses for landscape beauty in Canada.

Thanks for posting your images Echoes! Beautiful, you definitely know how to put feel for Saskatoon in pictures.
