Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada

Thunder Bay is situated on the shores of lake
superior, it is a beautiful city, with many trees of all kinds from
evergreens to cedars and leafy giants lining it's streets. This
almost takes away from the city parks as the city gives the illusion of
a great park itself. The Marina is just beautiful at any season.
The above view of the sleeping giant was taken from Hillcrest
park. The sleeping giant is visible many times along the highway
driving into the city. It is actually another park itself, not an
island as many would assume. Sibley park (the sleeping giant) is
accessible on the highway east of the city. It holds many wilderness
trails and a great place to take your mountain bike. If you are
not careful you may drive into countless other parks along the
way. Just as beautiful and very impressive. |

Looking a little towards the right is a view of the
grain elevators. |

Hillcrest park itself is a wonder of beauty.
After looking over the city and feasting your eyes on the sleeping
giant, snapping pictures and sight seeing you can rest on one of the
benches in this beautiful "Sunken Gardens" and take in the
beauty around you.

Denis and I own some property in the country and here
are a few pictures he snapped from the car window as we were
driving back.

Please return from time to time. Thunder Bay has a lot to offer it's
residents and tourists and I want to do it justice so this
page will always be under construction. |
