squeeze
these signs have been feeling the squeeze as they slowly disappear from our streets and highways to be replaced by the diagram of a right lane ending.

urban wildlife design
These decorated 5,000 gallon cisterns collect rainwater to be used for irrigation and grey water at the Brickworks.
Evergreen Brick Works is an environmental community centre in the heart of the Toronto ravine system. Its use of a wide range of green technologies make it a national hub for urban sustainability.

pont alexandra bridge
Somewhere, where the Rideau and the Ottawa Rivers meet, I found this bas relief model pointing out the areas of interest. On the left you can see Parliament Hill along with the Alexandra Bridge which takes you from Ottawa (Ontario) over to Gatineau (Quebec)
a view of the bridge from the Peace Tower

these two live under the awning of a condo building where
some beautiful serenading has been heard in the wee hours of the morning

D is for Diana
A blurry-soft and dreamy-toned Diana image is more an interpretation of reality than a correct representation of it.
In a way, it’s somehow more accurate to compare the Diana to an oily vintage typewriter
than to a megapixel machine of today
Who could resist the charms of its plastic body? How could you not absolutely love its lo-fi masterpiece photos? Something this beautiful, this classic, and this crucial to the world of analog photography
shouldn’t have suffered such an early demise.

Graffiti Alley at Queen and Augusta in Toronto.
He was too busy with his creation to be engaged in any conversation.

one bridge, two seasons
A bridge over Shoreacres Creek.
Since the winter, the trees and the taggers have been busy adding some colour to the area.

scaffolding
Scaffolding has gone up under the Toronto bound section of the Burlington Skyway
The work is part of a project that began in June and is expected to last until November 2012. Crews will be replacing bridge expansion joints and coating the structural steel to prevent corrosion.
