Ontario GTA photo tag

[N3WMAN]

wb! ... that Bombardier pix nice! .. just needs to be image-edit-leveled, but very nice. I appreciate night time pix that take extra planning to get good results.

Well my point and shoot is pretty old and showing it's age. To get any sort of night shot I put it on the ground and use no flash and the timer so it doesn't blur. It over-saturates lights quite a bit but it does usually end up lookin pretty cool.

Home alone on such a nice night... I don't think so. I was glad to take a chance that someone else was after this tag. The employees in the parking lot were sure looking at me funny.

OK. How did you know that the shiny, blurry oval emblem is the one on top of the Ford building in Oakville?

Sorry giesen, my mobile internet is cr^ppy... I post & run then put in the new tag from home. It will be up soon... I typically take a few shots on the way home and decide when I get here. The other one was in the boonies with a sunset in the background.

Yes, *not* a funny story: I spent many an hour looking at that oval while waiting for help at the side of the road in my younger days... never again.

Let me guess: your bike is looking at a Wendys/Coffee Time, right?

Close, but giesen has it right. Here is the hint shot (the Wee didn't move):

All right, I was not that far wrong. From left to right: Petro Canada - Wendy's/Second Cup (not Coffe Time), TD bank:

You've got it now: the trick was to look for the approach lighting... you've got ot love google street view!
