Went for a sunrise stroll over to the Southside - ended up walking around for three hours singing Reik

Bottom of my block.



Southside, at the dry docks.



Fortis at the bottom of Springdale Street.



Looking toward Cochrane Street, Bannerman Park, etc.



JAG performing arts centre thing under construction.



Delta, Cabot Place Complex, 351.



Heading out past the small boat basins to Cahill's Point and Fort Amherst, opposite of the Battery and Signal Hill.



Supreme Court, Anglican Cathedral, Benevolent Irish Society, Roman Catholic Basilica.

The Battery.











My house is in this one, near the vertical middle. My last house was basically JUST over the horizon from this angle, so you can see the mental divide/separation from downtown that made me move lol









I came back around a wealthier way, up Patrick Street lol





















Omnipresent Cabot Tower lol



Back in my neighbourhood, kind of. Barter's Hill is a main thoroughfare with no crosswalk between New Gower and Lemarchant, so it's as good as a wall between this area and mine.





Looking across at my neighbourhood. Doesn't look wide here but it is, probably the equivalent of four lanes, but only painted for two.



Popped up to the superette on my way back.



And then to Tessier Park for the view, carrying my bag of groceries lol











And then almost home!

Sunny, -1, and winds are completely calm. Honestly this may be the nicest day we'll get this winter. Sure, we may have days where temperatures are warmer, but calm winds make everything so pleasant.

Supposed to be a +14c here on Monday. I wont post 40 images on a weather thread though lol

[SignalHillHiker]

We wish you would.

But, yikes... that vibe, man. Can't relate at all to viewing/interacting with the world that way I'll throw a spoiler tag on some!

[MonctonRad]

-1C and cloudy in Moncton at 4 PM

[TownGuy]

A couple different locations today.

First is from Frontenac PP, north of Kingston. Quite the snow pack up there comapred to more south. Weather today was overcast and above freezing.





On the drive back you could tell when you were getting close to Lake Ontario as fog and mist emerged, snow pack declined. This is in Cobourg.

Great shots TownGuy - you really do have the eye for what makes good landscape photography.

SHH - I can see why you posted so many shots, you were on a roll! It’s hard to decide which ones not to include when they all have something interesting/colourful/good about them.

Why not? This thread is the place for it.

The lifeblood of this thread, and the reason it's so popular is because of the daily images. If it wasn't for SHH, mcminsen, Townguy, flar, megadude, monkeyronin and others, I wouldn't visit this thread at all. My weather app can give me more up-to-date, to-the-minute weather information than anyone in this thread can.

And with that said, here are a bunch of pictures from my day in Kaohsiung. Sunny, and a high of 24c with sightings of a giant duck.

























































SCROLL ----------------->

This afternoon I explored Park Lawn Cemetery and the beautiful apartment neighborhood surrounding it to the south, then drove out the Queensway to Erindale College and Park. A foggy, overcast but mild late January day in Mississauga Road & Dundas area. Anyway, first time in Erindale Park

Then I went down through Lorne Park to Jack Darling Memorial Park and to the foot of Mississauga Road, beautiful view towards St Catharines

On Lake Shore, shaking my head at all the mistakes made at Bright Water on the Lake

Why do urban planners and developers consistently screw up? The scale is all wrong, the streets and side walks wrong, setbacks, architecture everything is garbage!!!

I actually wish you would. It would be great to see some pics of in and around Kamloops. It has one of Canada’ most unique settings. Perfect for sharing on the Wes her thread as the seasons change.

I tend to agree with RHINO. I don't think he is anti-photo but rather against the massive photo-dumps that happen sometimes. The page can get hard to navigate, I end up rifling down the post after I've seen a couple.

[megadude]

Here's some more photos to make the page even longer to load.

Spent a few hours in Burlington. First in Hendrie Valley to let the kids feed the chickadees and nuthatchers, then to Cootes Paradise where it was a paradise for those who love seeing mud and fog and then to Lasalle Park for the swans.

^ Something interesting about those swans. The ones with the black beaks like that are native to the Great Lakes/North America and they're trying to reestablish their population. The orange beaked ones that are more commonly seen, although not in any of the photos, were introduced to North America and some consider them invasive.

Also, I've seen a lot of those black and white ducks (2nd photo from the bottom) this year. Maybe it's just me but I don't remember seeing them so much.

[mcminsen]

Turned into a real soaker. The earlier part of the day wasn't too bad with off and on drizzle and light rain.
By late afternoon the heavens opened up and the atmospheric river made it's presence known.

Saturday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 11 C, the low was 8 C.

1C and nice sunny periods in a otherwise mainly cloudy day.

Low of -1C (wind chill of -5) this morning.

The warmspot was White Rock, BC at 13.2C. New high this year.

Warmest low was Estevan Point, BC at 9.3C

[Marty_Mcfly]

Cloudy and -1 at 11:30am. Highs near 0 today. Winter storm watch in effect for tomorrow, expecting probably around 20 cm. Looks like Nova Scotia is getting the snow sometime today.

Yeah, this spot is the only spot I recall seeing trumpeter swans as it looks like it was an intentional colony established there judging by the tags. The orange beak ones are all I recall seeing when I go out fishing.

I haven't spent much time around Lake O the past few years like I used to back in the day so haven't seen a tremendous variety in water fowl. I used to fish the lake and its tribs more than a dozen times a year. Last year I went maybe twice. Up on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron is where I spend more time these days and it doesn't have such a variety. Don't know if it's a natural occurence or if it's because there's way more population and development on Lake Ontario and so greater numbers and variety of water fowl is drawn to the area.

Along with that black and white one, the couple other "exotic" ones I've seen in the past 15 years are the wood duck (Queen's Quay DT Toronto, along with a black and white seen above) and common merganser carrying her babies on her back in Sixteen Mile Creek, Oakville (seen them twice).

[flar]

The little black and white ducks are called buffleheads. I see them around Rondeau Bay a lot

It is raining again, we've had 5mm already and expect another 5 this afternoon. The low was 1.5. It hasn't dropped below freezing in 6 days, I wonder what the January record is?

[LFC]

Dreary, miserable, mild, wet day today currently sitting at 4c on its way to a high of 6c. Lots of snow melting all I can hear is water running down our downspouts.
