Looks like a nice area. I'm going to be in Kitchener for a week in September. Any suggestions for photography spots?
Like Steve mentioned, Elora although it's overcrowded now. Personally I would drive 15 minutes further and go to Fergus. Grand river (that flows through Elora also flows through Fergus. No crowds there.

If you want to catch some photos of Amish and Mennonite People in their horse drawn buggies stay north of Kitchener.
Riverside Park in Cambridge if you like urban wilderness and photograph a few birds. Or 45 minutes to Burlington and there is a great place (Grindstone Creek Wetland) just below the Royal Botanical Garden. That's where I do most of my birds photography.
I agree Fergus can be quite nice. For the person traveling to the area: the Grand River flows through Fergus, down through Elora, and then down through Cambridge and there are nice photographic opportunities all along if you have time to pick them out. I lived in Elora almost 20 years ago now when it was a pretty sleepy little village. It is interesting that it has gotten crowded now.
