ReplyDeleteHi Gabriel. I completely agree with you: I've always absolutely loved Waterloo for so many reasons. Thank you for taking me on this photographic journey. You've reminded me that I need to go back for another visit.My own WW contribution will be up later this eve, but for now, I've posted a link to a neat new photographic activity on my site. I hope you can come by and check it out: because you're so photo-focused, I suspect you'll enjoy it!All the best my 401-neighbour friend!Carmi

ReplyDeleteHi Gabriel -- You have a pretty town and it is very active. We live outside of our town, it has population 847 and growing.The kids get my award for the most inviting, playing in the snow on the ice. I would get some honey if I were there, we ran out of Vermont honey. Happy WW! Thanks for the visit to Amber. She is my daughter's cat...

ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit Canada someday. Looks like you've got a swinging little town.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of your hometown! Looks pretty flat around there. Is it farming country?
ReplyDeleteThe Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics...I used to hang out there all the time....NOT!Nice little city.
ReplyDeleteYou do live in a beautiful town! Wow, I love the seasonal photos - especially the snowy trees. And that's cool that you all have an Oktoberfest parade as well. :)Nice post, thanks.
ReplyDeleteWaterloo looks like a nice place to live with lots to do...I have only been to Ontario once...It seemed pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a nice town - pretty, clean, and safe looking. It's always nice to enjoy and have pride in where you live. So many people just can't wait to get out of there home town.

ReplyDeletecool entry. it looks pretty amazing to live there.
ReplyDeleteI guess your chamber of commerce has a new brochure or at the very minimum a link to you???? wonderful job, your love of your town shows
ReplyDeleteYour little town is oh, so pretty. (Yes, Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. Thanks for stopping by.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice little tour you gave us. Your town looks like a very nice place to live...
ReplyDeleteLoved having the grand tour!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really nice place to live! I love the picture of the Mennonites selling apple butter. Now I am hungry. Apple butter on buttery toast is my favorite treat and I haven't had it in TWO YEARS!
ReplyDeleteWell those are the best pictures yet! That Physics building is stupendous. Of course, it's only based on theory. (hee hee) I would like to visit Waterloo. Did Napoleon ever visit? I heard he met his Waterloo in England. That sun picture is a little too close for comfort. Did you burn your eyes?
ReplyDeleteI lol'd at the picture of Oktoberfest - looks fun!The winter picture of your backyard is awesome!Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteWaterloo is one of the Canadian cities that I would definitely move to. The issue is less about desire and more about practicalities, like:- I have an apartment HERE- I have a job HERE- I have family HEREActually, I know I can get an apartment anywhere, and travel to visit family... it's just that pesky earning a living thing that keeps me from loading up the Sunfire and cruising across the province.Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice little tour!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mini tour. My favorite is the Perimeter Institute.
ReplyDeleteWOW I love the LAKE! And I'm so envious you get snow!!! Here's Mine! < HREF="http://brainybimbo.blogspot.com/2008/06/wordless-wednesday-some-magic.html" REL="nofollow"> [Link] <>Happy WW!
