Happy WW!
Hi Gabriel. I completely agree with you: I've always absolutely loved Waterloo for so many reasons. Thank you for taking me on this photographic journey. You've reminded me that I need to go back for another visit.
My own WW contribution will be up later this eve, but for now, I've posted a link to a neat new photographic activity on my site. I hope you can come by and check it out: because you're so photo-focused, I suspect you'll enjoy it!
All the best my 401-neighbour friend!

You certainly do live in a beautiful "little" town! I love the "Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics" building! That is nifty.
what a pretty town!
Those are some awesome pictures of your town :) Love the Oktoberfest Parade picture..looks like loads of fun on the street!
Hi Gabriel, I loved the pictures of your town, so beautiful! The kids having fun at the park is too good. Happy WW!
Looks like a wonderful place to live...
Hi Gabriel -- You have a pretty town and it is very active. We live outside of our town, it has population 847 and growing.
The kids get my award for the most inviting, playing in the snow on the ice. I would get some honey if I were there, we ran out of Vermont honey.
Happy WW! Thanks for the visit to Amber. She is my daughter's cat.

What fantastic shots! Looks like a wonderful town!
The Theoretical Physics building seems amazing! What cool architecture.
Love the family photos :)
Happy WW!
All very awesome shots! Oh to answer your question I had the wrong post up sorry.
That does look like a great town. What a fun WW. Thanks for sharing! :D
Lo importante es que amas tu lugar, crias a tus hijos y vives la vida...
O sea, parece un embole... :))
Un gran saludo y un dia tendre que conocerla.
I'd love to visit Canada someday. Looks like you've got a swinging little town.
Nice shots of your hometown! Looks pretty flat around there. Is it farming country?
The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics...I used to hang out there all the time....NOT!
Nice little city.
You do live in a beautiful town! Wow, I love the seasonal photos - especially the snowy trees. And that's cool that you all have an Oktoberfest parade as well. :)Nice post, thanks.
Waterloo looks like a nice place to live with lots to do...
I have only been to Ontario once...It seemed pretty nice.
It seems like a nice town - pretty, clean, and safe looking. It's always nice to enjoy and have pride in where you live. So many people just can't wait to get out of there home town.
I love the photo, especially the last one!
Happy WW!
Thanks for the wonderful tour of your home town. Beautiful sunset finale.
Wow! You got a nice place there.
They're all very beautiful. What an impressive town!
Happy WW!
Looks fabulous. Get me some of that Apple Butter will you? LOL.
Come by and take a look at my garden. Happy WW!
Wow what a wonderful set of shot. An town that has an Oktoberfest has to be a great town in my books!
Octoberfest! Not quit like ours. :-)
This time I went for a Mongolian pic (same world trip) but the plan is to go back to Argentina in 2010 for a reunion here:

The next time my students ask me about Oktoberfest in Canada I am sending them here!
great shots of your town! happy WW
cool entry. it looks pretty amazing to live there.
I guess your chamber of commerce has a new brochure or at the very minimum a link to you???? wonderful job, your love of your town shows
Your little town is oh, so pretty.
(Yes, Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. Thanks for stopping by.)
What a nice little tour you gave us. Your town looks like a very nice place to live...
Loved having the grand tour!
Looks like a really nice place to live! I love the picture of the Mennonites selling apple butter. Now I am hungry. Apple butter on buttery toast is my favorite treat and I haven't had it in TWO YEARS!
Well those are the best pictures yet! That Physics building is stupendous. Of course, it's only based on theory. (hee hee) I would like to visit Waterloo. Did Napoleon ever visit? I heard he met his Waterloo in England. That sun picture is a little too close for comfort. Did you burn your eyes?
I lol'd at the picture of Oktoberfest - looks fun!
The winter picture of your backyard is awesome!
Happy WW!
Waterloo is one of the Canadian cities that I would definitely move to. The issue is less about desire and more about practicalities, like:
- I have an apartment HERE
- I have a job HERE
- I have family HERE
Actually, I know I can get an apartment anywhere, and travel to visit family... it's just that pesky earning a living thing that keeps me from loading up the Sunfire and cruising across the province.
Happy WW.
What a nice little tour!
Thanks for the mini tour. My favorite is the Perimeter Institute.
WOW I love the LAKE! And I'm so envious you get snow!!!
Here's Mine! [Link]
Happy WW!
Those pictures are fabulous! Looks like a great place to live!

So that's what Waterloo looks like!
Ya pronto conoceremos Waterloo! Se ve realmente tranquilo, eso es bueno.

What a wonderful collection of photographs. I want to go to Waterloo now.
thanks for the photo tour! We have a menonite communtiy near us, I was never sure if I should point my camera in their direction.
It looks like a beautiful place to live:) Happy WW and thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for the multi-season tour, Gabriel. Happy WW - a little late.
