Those are just smoldering, you need full blown wildfire shots with Terry and Kim cackling madly while hold a model of their gigayacht

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

I spent a couple of weeks in Halifax years ago. I was on a working holiday and was looking for work. No luck but had a great time there before moving on.

I might give up hockey and become a professional kite flyer. I'm trying to find where I can get one of these.

It’s so flat there. I’d go crazy with no hills or mountains around.

I think it's still considered to be part of the Niagara escarpment. When the glaciers which covered Canada in the last ice age retreated and formed the great lakes, that land was "uncovered" in a generally broad flat basin, with Lake Ontario due north of that area. The elevation on that plain is ~500-600' (175-200m) above sea level. Hills rise as you head an hour south, reaching 1500' / 500m, another 1.5 hours south and the peaks are typically 2000-2100' with valleys 1600-1700'. Nothing like New Zealand (from what photos I've seen), but still quite scenic. The photos @Buffaloed posted are protected migratory waterfowl areas. Used to go there in Scouts back in the day.

Lots of hills here, but that area is part of a big swamp that's loaded with animals.

That does look really nice. I’d happily play a round there.

I played this nine hole yesterday morning 20 minutes drive from my house.

I'm not a golfer, but seconded. Gorgeous in summer, especially.

I took these in July at Gratwick Park in North Tonawanda. My car was stuffed to the gills with things I was moving but when I saw all the kites I decided to stop and take a break.

Nice! I'm definitely planning on bringing my kite stuff next time I visit my parents in Buffalo.

I'm visiting my family in Buffalo now. Here are some pictures I took with my kite of the downtown Buffalo, the waterfront, and the Pendleton water tower.

Nice bump.

Last Christmas, from the trail I walk daily with the doggo.
