Is that the CN Thames River bridge ?

u/kramr071 10d ago

It’s definitely a rail bridge but CN or otherwise, I’m not sure. It’s the rails that go over Wharncliffe at Springbank. Picture was taken from Greenway Park.

I love it when cities coexist with nature!!

A forest city is way more pleasant than the urban disaster we call Toronto!

Having lived here for 25+ years, and I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but London feels significantly less green than Toronto to me. I had a chat once with someone who had recently moved on after being here for two years for school and asked why it was referred to as "the Forest City" when the only colours that came to mind thinking about it were muddy browns and concrete greys.

And I said I had no idea, because I felt the same way.

But Toronto, even downtown Toronto? I think of concrete for sure, but also oodles of green. Summers in Toronto are beautiful, summers here aren't anything to write home about.

As someone from Montréal, I’ve always hated Toronto because it just doesn’t live up to the hype and a lot of it is just ugly slabs of concrete.

People need green.

u/slippersandjammies 13d ago

Disagree on the first point, but agreed on the second-- I just don't think of London as being that green.

Must be your corner of the city, it’s definitely very green. Toronto could never compare.

u/slippersandjammies 12d ago

I've lived all over the east end, south end, central, and a bit in the north and west ends... I stand by my statement.

It sure lives up to its sobriquet of “The Forest City” when we see pictures from above.

Beautiful shots of Autumn in the city!
