Turtle in The City


I was parked illegally right beside police headquarters, waiting for someone, when I spotted this wonderful turtle and chevron pattern so of course I grabbed the camera and jumped out for a quick pic. I think the door is a back entrance to the "Native Child And Family Services of Toronto" building which is located a block south. Their building is on my list of places for next year's Doors Open since it is supposed to be fabulous inside. I rather liked the effect of the guy rushing through my shot!

    I'm going to have to visit some of the Doors Open as it's such a great way to see places on the cheap. Besides, most of the venues are truly interesting.

    This is a beautiful sign! Do you think it was made by some native artist?

    Looks even better when enlarged. A nice contrast of Native art and modern building.

    That is beautiful so rare we can find that sign. And many of us don't know what that means. Happy Wednesday!

    The man in the pic does add a little dynamism to the photo.
