Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night.

It's been a long time since I've posted here. Life just gets in the way. Spent the summer renovating my daughters house in Toronto. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Can't See the Forest for the Trees

Edge Walk

Porter Airlines departing YTZ while people do the Edge Walk thing at 356m (1168ft) around the pod of the CN Tower. I'd rather take the plane.

The financial district of Toronto, seen from the RCYC water taxi on a hot, hazy, and humid Saturday. The four major Canadian banks dominate the skyline.

Departing Billy Bishop Airport

Hazy Dome

Another washed out sky due to heat, humidity, and haze. The roof of the Sky Dome is open for a baseball game. Even though the place is now officially the Rogers's Centre, to many of us Torontonians, it will always be the Sky Dome. In the foreground is Harbourfront, a people place along the waterfront, dwarfed by a wall of condos, with more of them in the background, popping up like dandelions every day.

Hot, Humid, Hazy

Tue, 19 Jun 2012 06:58 -0400

Last Saturday was very hot, with excessive humidity and extreme haze, with nary a cloud in the sky, except for the odd wisp. This is a shot taken from the water taxi as we were leaving the RCYC. In the foreground is Billy Bishop Airport - YTZ, formerly Toronto Island Airport. Also in the scene is the wind turbine at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), the Molson Amphitheatre at Ontario Place as well as the towers and stays for the Pods. Condos are literally popping up like weeds along the waterfront, providing much coveted vistas of Lake Ontario, for which buyers are willing to fork over obscene premiums to be on the right side of the building.
