Fence In The City

This fence looks like one you might find out in the countryside but it is actually to be found near Spadina & St Clair, just north of Casa Loma, and the tall condos give a hint of its urban location. The hill is part of the containment for one of the main water reservoirs in the city and I think the fence was installed to protect the natural regeneration that is being encouraged there. The hill was a busy place last week with many birds poking about among the grasses. On the flat top of the reservoir there are tennis courts, a dog park,  a running/walking path, and just nice open space.

  8. Good shot! I have seen fences like this here as well... rather different from the usual steel structures you expect in a city.

  12. Nice shot with the condo building in the background. Otherwise, it could be a rural scene.

  16. Great fence. I like the country look and it appears to be a great way to keep vegetation under control.

  17. If it weren't for the buildings I would think it was a rural setting.

  21. Looks like a little spot of country in the big city! I'm glad my Tarpon springs post brought back some good memories. We fly your country's flag here at our resort too right along with our own! Come on down next winter, ;)))
