JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Lets try a new game.  This is a very popular game and educational too on another site I'm on. 

This time, places in the world, in alphabetical order. 

We should name the place, then a short synopsis about that place and what it's known for--if anything. 

If possible, let's supply a URL for the place. 



First one...

Aberfoyle

A small village just south of Guelph, Ontario and it's surrounded by artesian wells and a water common in most supermarkets around North America is called "Aberfoyle Water" as it's from here.


(who's next?  a place somewhere in the world that starts with "B")

I'll go next as well...

Beer

A small village in Devon on the south coast of England.  Known for lace making and in years gone by was a great place for smuggling.


Down in Devon, down in Devon,
There's a village by the sea,
It's a little piece of heaven
And the angels call it Beer!

I grew up just north of Toronto in the village of Lansing and it became Willowdale.  Later, Willowdale amalgamated with several other communities and became North York and not North York is part of the massive city of Toronto.
