**MIA, are the ravine and the posh neighbourhood (Rosedale) pics. I'll upload and post them late.
Okay, so before I start I m apologize for the overall lack of quality and skill of the photographs. They were most taken in horrid and rainy conditions and often photos were rushed because this as one of the few times I have ever done a phototour all by myself, so I felt quite uncomfortable taking shots of random urban scenes with people around and often in sketchy neighourhoods.
So anyways, without any further delays here are my pics:
Collier Street, a nice side street east of Rosedale and Yorkville lined with Victorians.
