Today I took a voyeuristic stroll around the Queen Street hill, Guelph's finest neighbourhood, and took photos of the mansions. There's greater beauty to be found elsewhere, but these images illustrate part of the city's heritage.
How's this for sad - if I were to do that in Toronto, most likely I'd have people sending the police out cause I must obviously be casing the houses for break-in.
Actually I was nervous that something like that might happen.
And I feel no real envy. From personal experience (my ex-wife's family lived on Glencairn between Bathurst and Avenue Road in Toronto) I feel a mixture of amusement and pity for the people who live in these houses.
