Tabor Hill Park is in Scarborough. When clearing some farm land to build a subdivision, they came across a native burial ground. They reinterned the remains in an ossuary and build a mound over it.
It is sacred ground, in the middle of Scarborough. My grandfather worked the job site where it happened. Game on Bossnass.

I was going to post this picture:
![]() But I thought that it was too easy and since it was raining, the picture was too dismal. Although, I would have been able to say yes to mahone bay. I was also going to post this picture ![]() But I thought that the reddish sand was too obvious and that the digital camera didn't do very well on the default setting. And if I had, then PEI would have been the guess I was looking for. To clarify previous hints: the water is closer to salt water than fresh water, but is still somewhere in between. Edit - I don't have a pic of Sault Ste Marie, but I think I mentioned it was east of Halifax. Last edited by Bossnass; 03-08-2006 at 03:58 PM.. |

And your Crabby's picture is way clearer, brighter, no fence, and actually has someone in it, which is a better picture and memory. Last edited by Bossnass; 03-08-2006 at 10:35 PM.. Reason: me fail english |

Sorry it has to be an orbital shot, but as it's about 70 km across, at ground level it doesn't look like anything. But the object itself is in Canada.

This is not in Mississauga but it is in Ontario. That's water just beyond the cyclist. It isn't a river or a lake.

Divine Inspiration, I guess. I was staring at it and zoning out, thinking: "That doesn't look like anywhere in Toronto that I know.", when it hit me. Cello's from Brampton! A quick google image search showed me the way.
![]() I made a small detour this morning, and took this on the way to work: ![]()

That's Hans Island up in the Arctic, though I suppose whether it's actually in Canada, and not Denmark, is up for debate. :b
