This is the interior of one of the old streetcar barns at the Wychwood Barns community centre and park. The barns were built as a streetcar maintenance facility in 1913 and have been converted into a multi-use space with theatres, artist studios, event spaces and more. This is barn 2 which is used as a space for a weekend farmers' market as well as various shows and even for wedding receptions. It is a great space with all of those skylights.

Careful Walking
This another shot of the fountain in Mirvish Village. It is activated by pressing a button over by that wall on the right. I can foresee lots of unsuspecting people getting wet while standing near the fountain when the sidewalk spurts up suddenly around them.

Keeping Warm
We had a cool morning a couple of weeks ago and I happened to be at the grocery store where there is a flock of about 20 pigeons who live around the parking lot. It was the first time I have ever seen them all down onto the asphalt trying to keep warm as it had been sunny earlier. There were pigeons hunkered down everywhere.

Brunch Anyone?
Brunch is a very popular thing here and this was the recent scene at a restaurant as people lined up to get a table. It would have to be very good food before I would wait that long.

It's A Jungle Out There
This ivy had grown all the way up a telephone pole and was beginning to cover over the streetlight that I spotted along Palmerston. It all looked quite lush.

A Fun Teacher
I saw this sign posted on a pole and thought it was great. Some raccoons are so talented.
