Thanks for all those great London shots! I still miss the old girl.

London is, contrary to popular belief, fairly hilly especially in the Western half.
Hey Chad, are you an ex-Londoner?

I'm from Woodstock actually, born and raised 18 years.



And yes, excellent London shots. These two are my favorites I've seen in a long time.

I think they stole the building in the foreground from the other London. Some kind of government building?

Also not a bad looking tower

That would be the Great West/London Life building - and yes, it's a beautiful building.

i was actually born in london, ontario, although we moved away when i was very young. it's not much of a city but it is pretty unique spot of canada. it and the countryside that surrounds it has a specific identity, even a bit of an accent.

^Funny. I have noticed something that vaguely resembles a drawl, at least from the older generations.

SW Ontario does have an interesting history - something I know little about, frankly.
