What a mess.

I like how right on top of the guy crossing the street is the sign with the guy walking for the crosswalk but walking in the opposite direction, and then that arrow pointing in the direction he's walking with the construction barrels in the same colours.

Rainy Sunday

Spring is here, and we are getting rain. This is the corner of Brock Avenue and Dundas Street, taken from the car. The distortion is from water drops on the car window.

Bridge over Brock Avenue, Toronto on the way from my house to the LCBO and library.

The LCBO is the province run store where you can buy alcoholic beverages. They don't sell liquor in supermarkets and corner stores like they do in California.

Snow Faces

I was walking down Brock Street and I was struck by these amazing snow faces that had formed on this tree. This was after a pretty big snowfall, where it had rained a bit on top of the snow and then froze over again. They look like they are talking.

When I walked by this house on my way home, they had melted to the point where they did not look like faces.

I wonder what they said in their brief conversation.

This is a really typical west Toronto house, with the bricks and that type of porch and everything.

A long exposure taken at night durring a heavy snowfall. Taken from the comfort of my own house! The building in the background is a school.
