For everyone who asks for pictures, I'll try my best. We haven't flowed much yet because of the weather, but we should be up a lot more in the coming week. Thanks!!

BTW, Did anyone notice the construction down at Springbank Park? I'll take a picture of it as soon as I can!

Alright, like always I am too tired to edit and upload all my photos right now. But I went up for another flight. We headed east, and let me just say this, the roof of The Renaissance building looks nice from 50 feet above

I leave you, with a teaser, of our beautiful, One London Place.

Were you in the BX93 baloon cause if you were you flew right over my house and I saw someone with a camera with my bonoculars.

Great pic of olp it's so reflectant

^I did have a camera (of course) but with no binoculars. But yes, I was in the BX93 balloon. If you see the balloon again this morning, I will be flying again!!

I posted this in The Renaissance Construction thread too. This is not the full update, I still have many more pictures to come. And I tried my best to take pictures of the requested area's. Like I said, much, much more pictures, just because I am going for another flight this morning.

As I was taking pictures of the London Art Museum, it got me to wonder, "Where the heck is The Renaissance?!" As I kept on looking, right out of the corner of my eye, I notice this white object, and then it got me thinking "OH **** THERE IT IS!" Let me tell you, it pretty fun flying over The Renaissance, with only about 50-100 feet to spare. The first picture, I could not get the whole top because we were hauling about 25 mph, and it was a last second take, as it surprised me!

Enjoy!

This image REALLY needs to be the title image for the Wikipedia article for London. I know, yes Wiki has it's flaws, but the fact is that it may be the world's source for London info more than any other in existence. This image should be the title image. Period.

I don't know how it is done, but it should be done.

Snark · #50 Posted **Jul 15, 2009, 1:43 AM**

Might I be so bold as to suggest the following as secondary images for Wikipedia:

Outstanding work!

Here, we agree on something.

Whisper09 · #52 Posted **Jul 15, 2009, 5:48 PM**

I don't know how to do it myself, but if you do feel like doing it for me that would be great. Haha. Yes, I am lazy

Make sure, if you do put it into wikipedia, make sure you put the credits as Adam Colvin.

Thanks a lot for the comments, I still have two updates to come.

P.S. Does anyone know where I can find this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Streetcar-SRM.jpg

Just as an aside, I really have to comment after seeing this photo.

The Harriston, a building that I had a lot of hopes for, has really turned out to look TERRIBLE. I mean, it looks like a giant concrete pin cushion from all the shots I have seen of it. It just looks... unfinished or something.

In contrast, the Rennaissance, even though it still leaves a lot to be desired, looks like a palace in comparison.

Too bad, really. The ground floors of The Harriston were done very well, but those balconies and the colours are just terrible. Too bad.

It says in the photo description that this streetcar is in Saskatchewan somewhere at the Railway Museum... maybe worth looking in to?

^Ah, right, I can't read. Thanks.

LondnPlanr · #56 Posted **Jul 15, 2009, 6:40 PM**

Also, I am currently learning how to update the Wikipedia entry for London, ON. I have saved the above-selected photo, and will insert it as the 'lead' photo as soon as I can.

*EDIT* Wikipedia entry for London, Ontario has been updated with the requested photo. Hope I did it right!

Whisper09 · #57 Posted **Jul 16, 2009, 8:37 PM**

^Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

I looks so beautiful *sniff, sniff*

...I am hoping to feel the urge to upload Update 2 later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks!

Whisper09 · #58 Posted **Apr 13, 2010, 7:55 AM**

Sorry for taking half a year for the rest of the photos, but nevertheless, here they are:

I hope you like them, there's still lots more to come!

MolsonExport · #59 Posted **Apr 13, 2010, 8:35 PM**

Once again, the best photos of London anywhere. Thanks for these!
