It is commonly spread about abroad that the streets in Canada are paved with gold. This is meant to be figurative. However, as you can see, it is quite literally true in some places.
This was brought home to me when I looked out of my bedroom window one morning and this was what met my eyes. At last here is the proof! (It really did look like this.) For a bit of Friday fun!

It was, just like copper gold, +Natosha Davis Thanks.
+Robert Fuentes Jr
Thanks a lot, Robert. It was taken at sunrise, but certainly was the light of the sun that hit the street just so, with the wet road reflecting it nicely. It must have happened before, I'm sure. But I had never seen it in 17 years.
Thank you +Shelly Gunderson
I truly do, thank you +Ursula Klepper – now it's more white on the roads than gold, as you have read today. 😀
Thanks so much +Christina Lihani – I am glad too.
We have much more snow now, but it is lovely +Sunny Wu
Thank you +Sumit Sen
Thanks a lot +Gopal Satyamurty
+Lisa Ellis thank you very much, Lisa!
It must be if the pot of gold has spilled over so much here, +Heiko Mahr – you are right!
A spike of 1 more would not go amiss, +Janet Patterson thanks.
If you keep this up +Ellie Kennard, you'll be responsible for a spike in the population in NS. Nicely done.
And you saw it and know now where..
Maybe it is the same place as the end of the rainbow 😉
Great
I love this, Ellie!
very nice capture
Lovely scene 🙂
beautiful snow
Great eye +Ellie Kennard! I'm glad you thought to take a picture!
Now I get contemplative… you have golden crests, your streets are paved with gold….I wander what is going to be next … ;o) You surely have beautiful things to see out of your bedroom window!
Beautiful!
That is an awesome effect… I am guessing the picture was taken around dusk and the sun reflected from the road gave it this color. Thank you for sharing.
It's like copper gold 🙂
Nice view, +Ellie Kennard !
