"Ontario - land of contrasts" Province of Ontario by Bernd_L
Province of Ontario Travel Guide: 13,660 reviews and 26,042 photos
The province of Ontario is a land full of contrast. You find extended farmland in the south and endless woods in the northern part.
Nature attracts you with lots of calm lakes, rivers and forest and on the other hand bothers you with armies of mosquitos and black flies during the summer.
You can find busy cities like Toronto and the Canadian capital Ottawa as well as nice little villages and attractive small towns.
The population is a variety of immigrants and especially Toronto is a melting pot. There are all sorts of races, cultures, languages and religions and it seems that they all live peaceful together.
A visit to Ontario should be done in late September and early october. Normally the weather is still nice and you can see the Indian Summer. The colours are fascinating.
And take enough time for your trip. There is so much to see and the distances in this huge country are enormous.
- Pros:Interesting mixture of nature and civilization
- Cons:Too far away from my home - I would like to visit more often

We have had a short but very colourful Fall ;-)))
Oh, I love the little cottage along the shore...could spend a long time there just gazing. Thanks for the interesting tour. Birthday greetings from New Jersey.
Good tips Bernd. That cottage looks bigger than my house!
Bernd, gorgeous little page with some nice photos. Brings back memories of my days in Ontario. I visited Toronto, Niagra Falls and Ottawa. See you in two weeks ... :-)
My family used to rent a cottage in Ontario every summer when I was little.
Happy birthday, Bernd! Nice tips and photos here. An uncle of mine used to have a cottage on a lake (but in Wisconsin, not Ontario) and we all spent our summers there when I was a child.
What a nice destination - great page as usual, Bernd!
Such a nice part of the world! Lovely page!
Used to live in Kingston, when I was going to grad school...good tips!
