Renewal

 

This fine looking building is a Toronto Hydro substation that has just undergone an extensive refurbishment that seemed to last  over a year. All of the mortar between the bricks was ground out and replaced and even the stone steps were reset. The building is well over 100 years old and looks ready for the next 100.

Good Vibes

I was on the other side of the street and spotted this new cafe that has opened on Dupont St in the Annex neighbourhood. I didn't have time to check it out but plan to check out the Mexican vibes soon. On-line I found that 2 young women from Mexico own the place and it sounds like quite fun.

Origami?

 

I spotted this large blue creature in the Yorkville neighbourhood. It looks like origami on a large scale and made of steel rather than paper. There was no info about it but I think it is by the artist Hacer. I like the addition of the bird up top. 

Green

I spotted this mural with all of the pleasant greens on the side of a garage. I don't think there is any message but it is pleasing to the eye. The artist for this one is ROAMto.

Wandering

 

I was wandering around the U of Toronto (U of T) downtown campus and ended up in this walkway in one of the newer buildings. I always like this kind of view. There were gardens off to the left so I will have to go back in the summer to check them out.

Treats For Us?

 

This group of Mallards was terribly disappointed when I had no food for them. They have become accustomed to people giving them bread which isn't good for them.

Rose-style Windows

 

The sanctuary from Trinity St Paul's church which I showed you yesterday gets a lot of light from these huge rose-style windows that are present on three sides of the church. Unfortunately there was a light fixture hanging in front of each one. They were really lovely even on a cloudy day but I imagine that a sunny day would make them glow.
