Waterloo Region Connected

Notably missing: large chunks of Charles and Duke streets. They were assembled later by opening sections of existing blocks, in many places.

Random recent shots! I also have a print store if anyone's looking for something new for their walls   https://www.matthewsmithphoto.net/store

Gotta admit, you take really great pictures and you make KW look like a beautiful city. What kind of camera set-up do you have? What lens are you using?

Anyway, great work.

Interesting article on architectural photography (the dad of a guy I knew in high school):

We have some good architectural photography in this thread!

Second time I've seen this bird hanging out here; last time it fled into the tunnel. Much, much larger in person than the camera lens suggests.

Nice! Schneider Creek?

Maybe I should post my Schneider Creek raccoon photos, too?

 Looks like Laurel Creek where it comes out of the culvert by the cenotaph.

Yes, near Waterloo City Hall.

With the trend to "deconstruct" and re-naturalize waterways, and the simultaneous frenetic building up of urban cores, I can imagine a subterranean "lost world" scenario.

Maybe the bird knows something...

This same bird, or at least another bird of the same species (heron?), is often at Victoria park. It also seems to like the culvert under the train tracks there, and usually just hangs out eating fish.

Nice picture, look at the feet! Have also seen one in the Grand near Bridgeport.

Putting my money on 'Heron' too, as I'm sure I've seen them keep the curve in their necks as they fly, and that's what the Internet says they do.

Looks like a Great Blue Heron. The Victoria Park individual can at times be seen in Schneider Creek as well.
