Oasis In The City

 

Not all of the homes in the Wychwood Park neighbourhood are set close to the road that runs through it like the one that I showed yesterday. I always stop to admire this view of the back garden of this home. There are no fences in the neighbourhood so the gardens all flow into each other. It really is an oasis.

Trees Grow

 

I was out for a wander through Wychwood Park and was struck by how much these trees in front of this house have grown. I remember when they were small saplings and the house was totally open to the road. Now they have a bit of privacy. I have always liked this house which feels to be a bit Frank Lloyd Wright like whereas most of the homes in the park are Arts & Crafts style.

The Place

 I was walking along a commercial street and there was one company that had all the windows covered over and no signage except this fabric banner. I couldn't resist a shot. It is very intriguing.

At The Market

 

Sunday afternoon and everything was so neat and tidy at this fruit market along St Clair Ave W. I was out for a long walk and it was hot so I resisted buying anything.

Tones Of Grey

 

The artist and an assistant have spent more than a month airbrushing this grey mural on a wall along Dupont St. They have now spent about a week putting white highlights along the edges of the forms starting from the right side as you can see. Many times there is a photographer set up with a tripod to record all the work going on. We will have to wait and see what the final mural will be like. I fear tagging could happen.

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians.
