Sant-Anne de Beaupré is such an over-the-top basilica.

Wow no kidding. But it is completely stunning! Wow!

A couple of shots of what the interior of the WWII bunker that is St. John's City Hall looks like from the second floor balcony.

their city hall is a ww2 bunker? interesting

The city hall of St-John's doesnt reflect at all the TRUE beauty of that city, unfortunately :(

It's that time of year again. The illuminated Dallas Cowboys logo is back on the side of Cabot Tower to shine above the old city of St. John's as we commemorate the anniversary of Santa Claus being nailed to a tree to absolve us of our sins.

I got laid in the bushes next to this bridge :haha:

Oh man....

Thanks for the memories Chad, hope you enjoyed your trip to Canmore!

Love that little slope. Monte Carlo-esque. :worship:

I had the same impression when I first saw that pic. Loving it!!

lmao! Awesome. It was a great time thanks :D

This photo is amazing, it brings back so many memories traveling in Europe..Churches, Cathedrals, Castles...I'm proud to have such structures in Canada..

Look what I see from my home, now that the leaves are completely gone :D

Nothing less than the highest skyscraper of the city !

That is gorgeous, Franks. Far grander than ours:

One cute fact about ours: it inspired the construction of St. Patrick's in New York. When their Bishop came to the consecration of our church, he was awed and decided if "a few thousand fishermen can erect such a grand Basilica, than surely all the Irish in New York can as well".

Whoa, I had no idea the basilica in St-J was so ornate! Good to you, when I do make it out to the rock, in like 40 years, I'll for sure swing by!

Awesome pictures !

Altoria looks very sharp from that angle.

:haha: I can take you on an electric wheelchair tour.

(Your impression is correct about most of the historic buildings here - but there are a few spectacular ones, like the Colonial Building, Supreme Court, etc.)

The crumbling bridge with Brossard behind...

http://images.lpcdn.ca/924x615/20131...-champlain.jpg

Brossard is one of those names that sounds beautiful in French and hideous when pronounced in English. Like Genevieve and Lagimodiere.

I would have said Longueuil aswell. Anglophones seems to never be able to pronounce it the french way. It always turns out like : Long-el, Long-weel, Longwell

lol

I disagree. Brossard sounds hideous in French as well. The name's ugly in both official languages, actually. Incidentally, the city's aesthetics live up to its name.

Is it more Long-yuye? (That's my desparate attempt to spell how I pronounce it)

You can listen to it in Google. They actually pronounce it correctly!
https://translate.google.ca/?hl=en&t...o/en/Longueuil

Agreed. Brossard is actually slowly joining Longueuil and Laval as a joke when urban Montrealers are mocking the 450 subburbs. And it's often pronounces in a forced accent to makes it sound more hillbillies. Something like "Bro- sawr".

Another one, different angle...

http://images.lpcdn.ca/924x615/201311/23/775994.jpg

Aww, I still love the name, even like that.

There is a Light by Daveography.ca, on Flickr

Ignore the first 'u'. To an Anglo I'd say it's probably more like Long-gey.


(There are a few cases in French -- words like "accueil" -- where the u is completely silent. To a French speaker the words accueil and akeuil (which is not a word) would be pronounced the same.)

Good news! Both City Centre I and One Victoria have broken ground in the past two months and are moving along well on their foundations!

Wow thanks for those Kitchener pics and the construction news! I would really appreciate a pic or two of the construction sites in the "Construction Sites" thread! :D Great news. Those will be, respectively, the first and second tallest in Kitchener, right?


Great pics!

I have friends who tell me that French has messed up spellings, and I like to respond that English is worse (they are just more familiar with it), but actually this particular sound is messed up:

oeuf
Longeuil
queue

But "eu" can also make a different sound (e.g. "j'ai eu").

To add to this confusion, the sound doesn't exist in most English dialects.

One Victoria (19 stories) might be a new tallest for Kitchener, but at 17 stories, I think there are a number of apartment buildings that will be taller than City Centre. I will be interested to see what, if any, impact these two have on the Downtown skyline - the topography of Downtown has the effect of flattening out the modest skyline when viewed from most angles. You can see the effect in advance62's fifth pic - the apartment tower just to the left of the "Dolly Parton" is 18 stories, while the brown brick tower to the left of the pic is, I think, 15 or 16 stories.

I'm actually enjoying the added texture of the leaves. So far so good!

^ Great pics Signal..Luved them!

I like Churchill Square, a great functional public space. Calgary's Olympic Plaza is cool and very nice, but completely non-functional.

this really looks like a scaled-down version of the areas around henry street in dublin.
