Windsor-Detroit border
Make sure to have your passport handy when you travel to Windsor because this is the scene you see almost from everywhere in the city.

It is very beautiful. Summers are gorgeous but BC Autumns are to die for (at least for me)

Autumns to die for, nice word play 🙂
It’s a great city, been there many times as I am from Michigan. I love Canada! 🇨🇦

Thank you for your comment dear John!
If I remember right because of the curious shape of that part of the border you get from Windsor, Canada to Detroit, USA by travelling due south.
Sorry careless there I meant due North – it is south from the US city to the Canadian one.
