A couple of my favourite photos after last Sunday’s Pride Parade. I didn’t actually take that many of the parade itself because we were initially waiting on Church Street and apparently the organisers had changed the route! By the time we got wind of that, the parade had already begun and we were unable to [...]

I was running an errand at the Apple store in Eaton Centre when I came across this scene in Dundas Square this evening: tango dancing as the tunes of a band filled the heavy summer evening air.

This is probably my favourite shot of City Hall thus far (from my cameras, anyway). Taken from Nathan Phillips Square on a chilly Victoria Day holiday Monday night while sightseeing with a couple of visitors and Garry. I took a few film shots with my recently-purchased Chinon CE-4, but I’ll have to finish off the [...]

The long weekend isn’t over yet, but I have a boatload of pictures already. This will be a quick preview while I go through the memory cards.
First of all, the circus is in town from Saturday to Monday:
Toronto International Circus Festival 2008

A couple of short videoclips from this afternoon at the Queen’s Quay Terminal:

I discovered this place while walking last night and went back this morning to take some photos. The light wasn’t that great, so I’ll return when the light’s better and try again.

The weather forecasters were all wrong about the weekend, and this time it was in our favour — it didn’t rain! In fact, it didn’t really rain until today, which is fine because it’s Monday and most of us are working.
The fact that the TTC was on strike didn’t seem to deter people from getting [...]

Had to set the alarm to get myself up to do this; Saturday mornings are typically lie-ins for me. This walk had already been postponed once (last weekend), and the forecast for today called for rain. Not to mention there’s a transit strike on right now, so anyone who didn’t have a car or didn’t [...]

The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) started striking an hour ago (midnight) with a notice of an hour and a half, and I just started reading the news about it:

Oh boy, this is going to wreak havoc. It’s times like this I’m glad [...]

I missed out on the good weather in Toronto during the week I was in Vancouver, so today has been the most spring-like I’ve seen it this year.
I met with some lovely people this morning for brunch at Joy Bistro, where I had my requisite Eggs Benedict (Norwegian-style this time, with smoked salmon) and a [...]

A whole week completely in the above-zero range, a first for 2008. I walked around High Park today to start the week off right.
