Just for fun post a non-porn pic.

Holy crap! That's exactly what I thought that was. It does look just like The Burren. Are there wildflowers there, too?

Yeah loads, but then everywhere I went there were lots of wildflowers.
Here's two of the wild flowers I took a pic of at Peggy's Cove.

There was a lot of an Angelica type plant and plenty of Lythrum growing together alongside the road. The Angelica even grew inside some of the boats!

A restaurant in my old home town of East London, SA.

The cast-iron pot in the pic is a popular household item in our world. It is used over an open flame to make stews or "potjiekos" (pot stew) as we call it. It's an alternative to the usual BBQ.

Buttons likes very much! When I was there there was a fence round them and some machinery parked there as well. I couldn't take the pics I would have like to have taken of these murals.
Thanks And_rew!

Andre, you are aware that most montrealeans call the Olympic Stadium the toilet bowl?

Nice pictures Andre. The Boy and I are considering a trip to Montreal & Quebec City next summer. I visited Montreal in 1996 and fell in love with the city. Something about that French Canadien hospitality!!!

Lunenberg, no wonder it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The streets are clean, the people are friendly and proud of where they live and they make great chowder (thanks Dynk! If it wasn't for you mentioning its delights I would never have tried it).

Andre - you're on!

Buttons: Thank you so much for posting the Nova Scotia pictures. The Boy and I travelled through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island in 2004 and, sadly, our camera died on the second day. I'm going to save the pictures you posted. Did you by chance make it to Chester and Mahone Bay? Both towns are down the highway from Lunenberg and were beautiful.

Hi Brian,
We made it to Mahone Bay and stopped there for a bit before going on to Lunenberg, I only took a couple of pics but did manage to get one of the churches there. We never made it to Chester. I can't drive and my friend Carmen doesn't really like to, while I did enjoy having a chauffeur I wanted her to have fun as well and after Lunenberg we moved on up to Digby the next day. The distances are just too big to take in all the sites and see everything and we wanted to spend time in the National Parks as well and do some hiking along the trails.
And I can totally relate to camera's dying on you. The number of times I have cursed at having to buy new batteries


Here's a few more from Lunenberg. Along one of the streets a (local?) artist has decorated the telegraph poles. Pity Canada doesn't have it's electric cables and phone wires buried in the ground like here in Holland!

and here's a pretty mermaid

And this is probably one of the prettiest churches I have ever seen, the St. John's Anglican Church in Lunenburg. I took a couple of the inside but as usual none of them are any good. Taking pics in church is such a difficult thing to do. I hate having to use flash! But maybe I should. Do you think god doesn't want me to take pics inside his churches?

I wanted to take a pic of the ceiling inside. It's dark blue and decorated with golden stars that show what the night sky would have looked like 2000 years ago above Lunenburg. Now how did they know what the sky would have looked like then back in 1753? That I find amazing!

For those interested more info can probably be found here: http://www.stjohnslunenburg.org/

and Mahone's Bay

Fabulous! Thanks Buttons

Buttons, thank you for the pics they are grand. I did not know I had inspired you to visit. My dad was born across the Bay of Fundy from the re in Grand Anse New Brunswick. I have not been for many years and may go back next summer if Luis will go with me.

and rew,

Your pictures are very nice. Thanks for posting them.

André?! I think they're brilliant! I really enjoyed that, I know I live here but there's a lot of here I don't see/hardly notice/or haven't been to yet and it's lovely watching it through someone else's eyes

Andre, can't you just see that Cafe in Montreal? right in the middle of the village it belongs.
