I am curious...when you think of Canada in the boarder sense..what image pops in your head (related to geograpical area)...ie/ A city or a region, or some location that if someone where to ask you to see what Canada most represents, you would send them there.
I came across this thought because the other day, i woke up really early and CBC had that test pattern on..than they start the day with the National athem as images of Canada flash by. And its one of those things where i watched and immediately felt drawn by the image..to me it was clearly Canada.
So my own thing is when i think of Canada, i think of two areas.
One is Ottawa. The image of the Parliament Buildings in the background, with the fire fountain thing in the forefront and the tulips off to the side. I see that pic (or a variation of said pic) over and over again, and I am still fascinated by it. I think of how beautiful the architecture and think of all the progress we as Canadians have made vis a vis that building and the laws it passed.
The other image is the Rocky Mountain House area in Alberta, facing the mountains..with the prairie hills and forest blended in the forfront..maybe a grain elevator...cows and stuff..and i think of the pioneer spirit mixed in with the majestic rocky mountains.
Also honerable mention to images of a cottage country in Ontario..that image you see all the time of the wood cottage, with the canoe tied to the doc..a bit of fog rolling in as the sun rises in.
