***SOME BEIJING ON MY EYE!

Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada Photo Tour

Here is another of Ontario's fine small cities, Owen Sound. Owen Sound is located 185 km northwest of Toronto in Grey County and on southern Georgian Bay. Northernmost city on the Niagara Escarpment. The city has a population of 21,000 but during the summer/fall months the city is extremely busy with cottage country and escarpment cottage commuters, it is also quite isolated for a city, being as the nearest city is 115 km to the east, Barrie. It is the smallest market to boast a CHL/OHL hockey team as well. I took all these photos of downtown and the city on a beautiful September day this year.
