Rural Ontario, assuming you mean just the South of Sudbury parts, is indeed rather large. (If we count the north-of-Sudbury parts we're talking "blessed enormous".) No one who has driven from Manitoba to Toronto is ever going to believe that "just west" part, no matter how Torontonian they may be, either. This is kinda why I suggested "Outside of cities" as the catch phrase; it's not like the vicinity of Arnprior and the vicinity of Orillia and the western half of Prince Edward County look particularly alike. (Never mind the north end of Frontenac County, which looks like the glacier _just_ left, be right back, gotta go get a memory card, lens wipes, and six kg of dried weasels... I should not be surprised to meet mastodons in the north end of Frontenac County.) If you're doing something more localized, you might want to figure out what the appropriate catch phrase for the locality is; if you'd be perfectly happy photographing barn architecture in Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry *AND* old mine works in the Rawdon Hills *AND* old canal works on the Trent-Severn, besides all the various combinations of trees, rocks, and water, then it gets into "Rural Ontario" as a whole(ish) thing. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
