I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double-decker shopping cart. You live in a strange foreign land. ---

Maybe with a few more fir trees. Your seasons also seem to be a bit behind, given that you’re so far to the north. Around here, everything’s in full summer plumage. Thank you so much. I’ve always been fascinated to learn about the geography/geology of places I have heard/read about but never visited. There were several shots of Paris and its environs today on the French Open coverage. I’ve always liked to picture places. While there are many shots of locations in a place like Paris, there are not so many of its setting. ---

Slick tunes. I’m assuming that music is just always playing in the background everywhere in Canada. ---

Nice video - you got something against off-leash dogs? 🙂 We have double-decker shopping carts here (Washington State) as well - but they’re smaller carts, for the ‘single’ shopper. ---

I have now learned, to my horror, Canada is not a place where the trees eat people and there is not perpetual snowfall! Instead, it looks… exactly like Ohio… sans the farmfield. ---
