not sure why I'm posting these...I went down to the river yesterday with my mum it was such a beautiful day I just really wanted to get out of house for a while [may be doing that today as well]
I looked at the pictures I took when I got home, but didn't like any of them...maybe I'll feel different today? *shrugs* oh well you all can be the judge of that.
The pictures of the river that I took before were perhaps closer to the middle of the town these pictures are from closer to the mouth of the river where it reaches lake Ontario.
you can see the viaducts in this picture we have two clear fishing seasons Rainbow Trout in the spring and the Salmon run in the fall. People fish all year round but they can't go beyond those viaducts until certain times of the year. It'll be that time soon

You can see a CN train in this one, we've had some debate in the town as to whether or not the trains should run silent. People who have lived here all their lives aren't bothered by it. But new home owners always feel the need to complain....for the record the train whistles don't bother me, I actually kind of like them.

This picture is looking up river towards the main street, I think this was the first picture that I was really disappointed in...it was such a bright beautiful day and here this picture looks muted for some reason....

The red brick building is the town hall, but I took this picture more for the church behind it, which was visited by queen Elizabeth a long time ago, there's a sign telling the exact day but I haven't actually read it.

I can't remember when they built this, but I thought they could have found a much prettier place to put it.

Pretty bricks at the center

another of the town's walking bridges

I took this one from the walking bridge, the bridge you see is the main street, the red brick with black trim [on the right] is the Lantern Inn my sister works there during the summer

This is the first picture of Cameco a nuclear refining plant, a lot of people don't like having it here especially right along side the lake. ESPECIALLY now that they're looking to start refining a more dangerous form of uranium. But I think the building looks so neat, I plan to get more pictures of it! [even though the company doesn't like that]

I really like this tree it has character

I decided to go down too the river for some other pictures glad I did too

there's my tree again. I think another problem I had with these pictures was my hands shaking. it has image stabilizer but there's only so much even that can do. there was also the fact that I couldn't really see the screen with the sun.

Looking back down the river

Love how crisp this camera captures moving water

Trout! the town always gives them a head start before they officially open fishing season. I want to get some pictures of them jumping the rapids

my trout...I think I'll call him Splashy...no wait! make that Sir Splashy!

we caught sight of a few jumping this rapid here, but I didn't get my camera up in time to catch one. Didn't help that my memory card was full ^_~ managed to delete enough to take more pictures, but hopefully in a few days I'll get more

can't post more, I'm loosing internet! ack!
Edit: Thought I should explain a little better. We decided to switch from Bell to Cogeco and today is the day it happens. Unfortunately Cogeco doesn't offer routers so I will be internetless until we get a router. Which should be happening later today.
I was working on posting the pictures when the guy arrived, we had no idea when to expect him, since they only ever say between 9-5. I'd really hoped to get all the pictures that I wanted up, but that will have to wait. At least with my brother's computer hard wired to the internet I can come and fix this post so it's not so bloody long.
Lack of internet sucks....I'm not sure what my laptop is even for at the moment ^_~
