Dust of Snow

We had a light dusting of snow this week here in Toronto, and a big drop in temperature. Hard to complain when up to now we’ve had spring-like weather. This is the scene on College street near Spadina yesterday.

Morning in High Park

I took this picture over a month ago in High Park, before the mornings became so dark. The brightness of the sky had my camera turn the blue sky white, and produced a few interesting textures – especially the grass.

Going to the park the same time now would be considerably darker and cooler.

Cycling Rules!



Cycling Rules!, originally uploaded by stevenharris.

This sign recently appeared at the corner of Spadina and College, in conjunction with the new painted lines at the street crossing. The new intersection format appears to be intended to allow cyclists enough room to get across the street, or to turn left ahead of the cars behind it.

Unfortunately, while the sign appears to be pretty well made, it is far too small to be noticed by drivers who regularly pull up to the forward stop line where the bikes are supposed to be. So, while it’s probably a great idea, the next time the city decision-makers attempt to remake an intersection in this manner, they might want to invest in some decent sized signage to compliment it.

Cherry Beach Transportation

This canoe, on the shore of Lake Ontario looks like it’s off in some wilderness area. Hard to believe that this actually Cherry Beach park, not far from the downtown core, and just the other side of the waterfront and port.
