Algoma District in northern Ontario, Canada
This slideshow is about Algoma, a wilderness district in northern Ontario. Hundreds of kilometres of deep woods, lakes, rivers. Very few people and cars. I took these photos during a couple of trips. Mississagi River and Little White River (the smaller one) are shown.
Black bears, wolves, coyotes, skunks and other critters roam.
There are wonderful roads for motorcycling (highway 129 and 546), plenty of ATV trails, and plenty of nice hiking.

What the Berlin Wall Looks Like Today Popular East Berlin West Berlin Tourist Site Berlin Germany
What the Berlin Wall Looks Like Today Popular East Berlin West Berlin Tourist Site Berlin Germany At the height of the Cold War the Berlin Wall was over 28 miles long running through the heart of the city. There were dozens of manned guard towers operating 24 hours a day. Plus there were guard dog stations, motorized patrols, camera installations, hidden trip wire machine guns, land mines and more to stop any East Berliner from getting out into West Berlin.
Today after 27 years of time not much of the wall remains intact. There are a few areas left where you can go to see the actual wall. The first one in this video is near the O2 Arena. But the best one to visit is near Mauer Park.
Here you can see the West Berlin side of the wall and also the East Berlin barriers that are still standing. There is an actual Guard Tower that you can see along with a section of the former Death Strip.
There are a number of information posters inside the former Death Strip area you can walk through that tell you the locations of former tunnels and buildings that were used to get East Germans out to West Berlin. Also there are photos of people that were killed by East German Border guards who tried to get out to West Berlin.

Driving Across Canada Episode 7( Wheels Need Lug Nuts)
More from my series on our experience of driving from Borden Ontario to Edmonton Alberta in the summer of 2010. We made the trip in our 2000 Saturn Wagon. All video was filmed using my Treo Pro. Not the best quality but still captured the experience. Day 2 of our trip. Left Marathon ont for Dryden Ont.
Patten Lake - Northern Ontario
At the northern end of Patten Lake in Northern Ontario, Canada, you can find this gorgeous slice of tranquility. This video was recorded during a lovely afternoon in early August of 2016. The bird you will hear with a distinctive call is a female osprey with chicks on her nest. An osprey has nested at the top of the same dead tree in the same spot here for years. People sometimes wonder why my family and I drive 11 hours each summer to our cabin on this remote lake. This is my answer. Hope you enjoy it, too.

North Sydney (2001 pop.: 6,775) is a community in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
Located on the north side of Sydney Harbour, along the eastern coast of Cape Breton Island, North Sydney is an important port in Atlantic Canada as it is the western terminus of the Marine Atlantic ferry service. It acts as the marine link for the Trans-Canada Highway to the island of Newfoundland, which is why North Sydney's nickname is called The Gateway To Newfoundland.
Marine Atlantic ferries currently operate from North Sydney's terminal to the ports of Port aux Basques and Argentia. The company is one of the largest employers in the area.
History
North Sydney emerged as a major shipbuilding centre in the early 1800s building many brigs and brigantines for the English market and later moving on to larger Barques and, in 1851, the full rigged ship Lord Clarendon, the largest wooden ship ever built in Cape Breton. Wooden shipbuilding declined in the 1860s but the same decade saw the arrival of increasing numbers of steamships drawn to North Sydney for bunker coal. By 1870 it was the fourth largest port in Canada dealing in ocean-going vessels, drawn for coal and due to the fact that The Western Union cable office had been established here in 1875. The railroad came to Cape Breton Island in 1891. At this time there were 2,513 people in North Sydney, compared to 2,417 in Sydney.
In 1898 North Sydney was chosen by the Reid-Newfoundland Company as the Canadian mainland terminal for a ferry service to Newfoundland; in June of that year the SS Bruce sailed from Port Aux Basques, it was the first ship to make that run.
World Wars
During the first and second World wars, North Sydney played an important role in the relay of information from Europe to both Ottawa and Washington. North Sydney was home to a Western Union Cable office. It was here where coded messages were sent from overseas then relayed on to the rest of North America.
On the morning of November 10, 1918, the office received a top-secret coded message from Europe. It stated that effective at 11 am the next day (November 11, 1918) all fighting would cease on land, sea and in the air.
Therefore the people of North Sydney, in particular Mrs. Annie Butler Smith, were the first to know about the end of the Great War. It is reported that on the night on November 10, 1918, over 200 servicemen celebrated by marching through the streets of the town to celebrate the end of the war, one day before the rest of the world knew.
Sydney Mines (2001 population: 7,312) is a former town in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
Sydney Mines Founded in 1784 and incorporated as a town in 1889, has a rich history in coal production, although mining activity has now ceased.
Geography
Sydney Mines in Nova ScotiaSydney Mines lies immediately northeast of North Sydney and faces Sydney across Sydney Harbour. Sydney Mines was once a major coal-producing community. Mining began locally in 1766, and in 1830 systematic operations were undertaken. One of the area mines extended about 5 miles (8 km) out under the sea. The last mine was closed in 1975.
As of 1991, the population was 7,551. The current demographics map Sydney Mines at 95% caucasian (White), and 5% Jamaican (Black).
Sydney Mines is on the northern side of Sydney Harbor, near the mouth. It was earlier known as the Mines due to the coal mines abundant nearby. Although mining has been carried on since 1724, the first shaft for the General Mining Association in Sydney Mines was sunk in 1830. Manufacturing enterprises included corrugated steel culverts and the British Canadian Co-operative Society Limited, operating a dairy and a bakery.
