Hot Off the Press- My new pix of Toronto - Page 170

@Taller, Better: Your Christmas - night shots are really very nice and beautiful

***Taller, Better*** · December 12th, 2011, 09:20 PM

Thanks, everyone! I had a brilliant day out and it was good to be in the cold fresh air all day.

@ skymantle, Trianon is an upscale home furnishing/accessory shop. That strip along King Street East is home to many, many Interior Design shops (Herman Miller, Klaus Nienkamper, etc....)

@ Openly Jane; I'm glad you liked the pics! I think that the key to success is to plan lots and lots of residential buildings in the direct vicinity of the old factories. That provides a round the clock Living/Working/Playing neighbourhood. As a dusty museum wrapped in cotton wool they are less successful. People bring life to a neighbourhood.

wow, I love the ambiance of the Distillery district.
why don't we have like that here in the west coast.

Welcome

how cold was btw?

***Taller, Better*** · December 13th, 2011, 09:17 PM

On Sunday it was a high of 4c during the day, and down to -3c at night. Was humid and felt cold near the lake. It is 8c at the moment, but likely will get colder by the weekend, and maybe snow, too for Christmas! (which I hope happens).

That if happens, would be nice

***christos-greece*** · December 25th, 2011, 11:47 AM

Merry Christmas to everyone here

***Taller, Better*** · December 25th, 2011, 08:22 PM

Thanks, Chris! And to you and your family too! No snow today, and 4c so it looks like it is a green Christmas after all..

Welcome Taller, Better; also here in Athens we had nice weather but really cold (max. temperature at day time: 7 C)

Lovely Christmas shots from Toronto...thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to everyone.

I can never thank you enough for this thread. I'm going through it again for like the 50th time. You really capture the spirit of our city!

***xzmattzx*** · February 18th, 2012, 06:26 AM

Any updates, TB? How is the winter up there? As mild as ours has been? I just saw the first flowering daffodils of the spring today, and some trees are starting to bud. We're about a month ahead of schedule.

***christos-greece*** · February 18th, 2012, 11:57 AM

I also would like to see more updates...

***xzmattzx*** · March 23rd, 2012, 05:01 PM

Anything coming up for spring?

***christos-greece*** · March 23rd, 2012, 06:21 PM

Yeah! I would like to see some spring photos from Toronto, please

***Taller, Better*** · April 2nd, 2012, 07:14 AM

Okay!! Got some today. Sorry I've been inactive here for so long:

cherry blossoms in Niagara on the Lake this weekend:

Magnolias in Hamilton ( a city about a half hour drive from Toronto) that were open in blossom mostly got touched by a heavy frost last week; ruining a beautiful display. Hamilton has lots of big old Magnolias:

a beautiful fat Cardinal spotted in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton:

Fat grey squirrel, same park, enjoying a feast of peanuts that I brought him:

***Taller, Better*** · April 2nd, 2012, 07:16 AM

Webster Falls, Hamilton:

the higher Tews Falls, Hamilton:

Photos around that beautiful Spencer gorge:

the new Trump Tower, Toronto:

Some beautiful old bronze doors downtown Toronto:

***Taller, Better*** · April 2nd, 2012, 07:17 AM

I caught one of the gleaming new subway cars at Osgoode Station tonight. They articulate around corners, and have no interior partitions from front to back:

sorry, out of focus:

much improved communications:

shot of downtown:

the new Shangri La Hotel:

Canada Life Building:

The TTC (Toronto Transit Corporation) Logo, one of my personal faves:

Iron gates outside Osgoode Hall, which dates from 1832:

After a heavy day of photography I figured I deserved a proper Sunday dinner of Prime Rib, Yorkshire puddings, mashed potatoes and veggies!

Doesn't that look good?

aarhusforever · April 2nd, 2012, 07:21 AM

Thank you for the great photos...some of us have been waiting a looong time for this update
