Default Trip to the market

Morning guys ... the only quality in these shots was the end result, lots of beautiful meat and treats from the market .. The first 2 are from the car, the others walking .. I just wanted to share a slice of Toronto life with you ..

Humber River bridge, installed to extend the trail system along Lake Ontario's shores ..

humber river bridge

A trip to TO is sure to include the CN Tower .. I wish I caught more of that arrow in the sign bottom centre ..

sign to cn tower

We have a Flat Iron building here too .. built in 1891, so 10 years older the NYC's .. Flatiron, Toronto

Destination ... mmmmmmmm! food ....

the market

It is always so fun to see other places ! Your city looks like it would be a lot of fun to go play in! That 3rd shot is great!! The flatiron in NYC is one of my favs to look at .. but I think yours is a bit prettier!

Ian, one of the best things about this place is how we get to visit other cities without having to pay for it. Thanks for taking us to the market!

These are great shots. Toronto is one of my favorite cities in the world. It has a great arts district and fantastic restaurants. There is a great one in the "needle". Thanks for the tour, eh!

Nice shots- thanks for showing us some of your city. My son loved the needle many years ago- it sure looks tall. And thanks for the building shots.

I love the blend of old city / new world architecture you captured in the third image of the OP. That's a very natural looking shot, makes you feel like you're strolling down the street with the rest of the crowd. Thanks for the tour!
