I was in Windsor, Ontario for a few days last week, very nice and green compared to Vancouver at this time of the year. Didn't get to experience any thunderstorms unfortunately, but it was a welcome change of scenery nevertheless. I thought it was really nice little city overall (and it has my favorite climate in Canada ), would definitely visit again.

^^ I'll be not from there later next week...lol.

Nice to see how green it is - looks like rainfall hasn't been a problem in that area. I've never been to Windsor, btw, I cross over at Sarnia when I go to Burlington (ON).

Tommy - very nice pics from Mexico - lovely place you're staying in. Did you get to drive on the autostrata any, and if so, how were they?

Which kind of shows that the anomaly in the UK is NI, which looks more like parts of Iceland or the Faroes, rather than the majority in the UK which looks like anywhere in western or Central Europe.

Was an interesting style house...not something you typically see.

The front...

BTW ... it has 7 bathrooms.



The back ...



Now take a look at Google Satellite ... There's no road behind it.. it literally sits in someones backyard like they have to squeeze a zillion homes in the area. WTF! This is Old Greenwich, CT near the coast. Near I-95. 10 minutes from NY
There's still quite a bit of space there, what's the problem?

Not really. The South of England looks nothing like the rest of the British Isles, very flat and dry.

Most of the east coast all the way up to Lincolnshire is flat and dry.

Dean York just said my photos from the SW suburbs of London look similar to the river in York, which is obviously not in SE England.

The landscape to the east of here is very flat and dry. West of Leeds are the Pennines. Leeds itself is quite hilly like Bristol but much drier.

But the rest of the British Isles are still moist and hilly.

Didn't one poster draw a line between the wet west and dry east sides of England?

I did. It's the Tees-Exe line. Leeds and York are east of the line. Most of SW England is west of the line.
