Just how crazy it is to look out of your window and see Mount Rainier. No, I don't mean Mount Baker (3,286m / 10,781ft), which is only 100 kilometers away and an ever-present backdrop for Metro Vancouver.



I really mean bloody Mount Rainier which is behind Seattle, some 286 kilometers away!

Mount Rainier is actually so far away that due to Earth's curvature only the very tip of this giant (4,392m / 14,411ft) can be seen this far.

Yeah, I really love our new apartment's crazy view.

The thing about Montreal's old school look and charm is the with time it just seems to get better and better love it.
While on the opposite end of the scale Calgary and it's ultra modern look is doing the same thing for it self as well

yup, and the Toronto islands and some pretty good detail around Niagara. The thousand islands area in Eastern Ontario also looks pretty cool.

These signs read like they written by Nan for 4-year-olds.

No, it's just the GoPro. Still relatively new for me, but not a fancy lens.

Love the last one. That's so cute!

Chapel Hill Park this morning - my favourite little lot-sized park in the city.

IT'S JUST SO DAMN TINY AND CUTE!









It has a lovely view down Victoria Street across Queen's Road.



And the Basilica is just across Military Road.
