Hot Off the Press- My new pix of Toronto

***Taller, Better*** · April 3rd, 2006, 06:20 PM

I'll start a thread of my new photographs of this city. I took these in the past couple of days. They are in no particular order, andI hope you enjoy the tour despite the fact it is still very early spring here and the trees are not green yet!

Looking South from the rooftop patio:

Looking North from the rooftop patio:

Then off to another rooftop bar to snap some more pix:

Renovation of the Royal Conservatory of Music

And for some reason, this building always reminds me of the opening credits
for the old tv show, Dallas!! LOL!

A view down on the construction of the Royal Ontario Museum renovation:

Note the moon above the First Canadian Place.. it is not a disco ball!

Pictures taken around 1am of an almost empty Union Station:

And lastly, my favourite shot of the session:

It is one of those projects that has completely flown under the
radar here in TO.... I had heard nothing of it til I noticed the
hoarding outside. It is a style of building that was very popular
in Toronto in Victorian times and there are lots of good examples
about. Here is another shot for you!

Awesome pictures mate!

Thanks for the pic, it's really an interesting structure. A strange mix of Victorian and Gothic. Very, very cool.

LOL! You almost blew it, USS... but I guess I'll give you a frosty
Canadian beer after all

ps. Have you ever braved it north of the border?

***Taller, Better*** · April 8th, 2006, 08:04 PM

A few more pix I took this morning, while out walking the dogs. This time in my
neighbourhood.

The almost completed new home for the National Ballet of Canada School:

Allan Gardens, where my dogs love to run. It is the home of the Toronto Horticultural
Society, formed in 1834, and a fine place to go on a chilly day when you want Spring
to hurry up!!

WOW LOVE THESE PICS
