A global poll conducted by newwonder.com
released its seven wonders of the world last week. Many of the sites chosen came as no surprise, such as the
Great Wall of China and
Taj Mahal. However, many famous sites were left off the list, such as the
Eiffel tower in
Paris, and the
Acropolis in
Greece. It is a very subjective poll and very difficult to get a consensus among any group of people, since we have our biases in taste and experience. Unfortunately, none of the Canadian sites were nominated as finalists for this poll, but this disappointment did not stop the
CBC to conduct a poll of their seven wonders of
Canada, which can be found
here. The winner was The Sibley Peninsula, or the
Sleeping Giant as it's known in
Thunder Bay.
I believe it is hard to choose the seven wonders by looking at pictures, to appreciate the beauty of this world, you have to see it for yourself. I have had a unique opportunity to travel the world and have complied The Ozzies - top seven wonders of the world
Honourable mention-Rocky mountains, Niagara Falls, and Empire state building

Ozair....check this post in IE. the formatting's all over the place. Looks great in Firefox tho.
Consider The Ozzies - top seven wonders of the world . The author has traveled to a number of countries in the last couple of years. So he has an authority on the subject .
