3)Typical street in SFO
4) Coit Tower
5) San Francisco City
6) Another one of downtown SFO
7) Golden Gate Bridge
8 ) The Westin, SFO
9) Union Square, SFO
10) Bay Bridge, SFO
11) Alcatraz (where the movie, 'The Rock' was based)
12) San Fran Downtown from Alcatraz
13) Yours truly at Golden Gate
14) Union Square at night (Black Friday Sale)
15) Bay Bridge at night (sorry shutter was open for tooo long for me to get a steady shot without a tripod)
16) Financial District, SFO
17) Georgia Aquarium, ATL
18 ) Aquarium, ATL
19) Beluga Whale
20) Another beluga
21) Aquarium

Roads expand when hot and contract when cold.
In Canada you have temp variations from -35degsC to +35degsC. I would be surprised if they don't crack.
I don't know about the location of the mentioned picture, but it should be the reason. |

Some great night scenes of Tronto. Great city to visit.
Continuing the night theme, heres couple from our Boeing Tour. Eric and I had great supper at Pike's market and then headed to park to shoot the city.
Seattle's famous landmark, SPACE NEEDLE TWR. There is restaurant at top and at bottom too.
Cheers
PS:Is first shot looking towards YYZ?

How'd I miss this thread?
Fantastic pics. Do you have bigger versions?
The cracks in the road is an interesting comment. You'll find cracks in every road in the world. There's simply nothing that can be done about it. |

Thanks. Actually the shot is in the NW direction from CN Tower, while YYZ would be in the NE side.
I got carried away by your North American thread and didn't realize that this thread was about US  |
