The Gardiner Museum

The Gardiner Museum is located on Queen's Park just south of Bloor. The cube shaped front of this building has always grabbed my attention.

Air Canada Center Wall

Light plays a big roll in photography. In this image the shelter of the Gardiner Expressway created the cascade effect on the south side of the Air Canada Center. The image was shot from the Lake Shore Blvd between the traffic light changes.

Pavilion Stairs

Christopher Hume of The Toronto Star wrote an excellent column in the paper Sunday called "The Lost City". He describes some of the historic buildings that the public have limited access to and how the history can be lost by such actions. The Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion was one of the buildings mentioned in the article. I had taken several photographs of this building years ago, all of which were lost when my PC died (a painful lesson in the digital age). The column prompted me to revisit this wonderful facility and take some shots. Above is and image of the stairs leading to the lower level and I will return for more shooting in the future and capture the outside when it's not raining. I don't have permission to post a link here so visit http://www.thestar.com and you will find Christopher's column.

Bank of Montreal

Pillars and columns fill the city with the sense of power and age. Banks are best suited to this show of strength or perhaps they were.

Graphic Arts Building

The Graphic Arts Building is one of the many hidden treasurers within Toronto.
