Taktsang Lhakhang
It took hours of hiking to reach Taktsang Lhakhang or the Tiger\'s Nest Monastery near Paro, Bhutan, one of the most sacred sites in this Himalayan country. Perched on a cliff high up in the mountain, this place can be reached only by foot, horse or a flying tiger. I wish I could fly...

Toronto Western Hospital is located at the intersection of Dundas Street West and Bathurst Street.

What did you do on the weekend? I dealt with my annoying website host who had suspended my website for a strange reason. I also went plant shopping, took a very long walk across the town, had vegan Chinese food and some Chilean wine.

Streetcar siding

Toronto Streetcar siding

Toronto streetcar (tram) system is among the largest systems in North America. This streetcar siding (parking) station is located at north west corner of Queen Street West and Roncesvalles Avenue, few blocks from where I live.

I am getting increasingly attracted towards desaturated images – b&w, sepia, etc. So I’ve posted the same image in a different way.

So, which picture did you like more?

Remembering our past… building a safe future

This guy sits here 24/7 all year long, in his proper safety equipment, dutifully chiseling the message on this granite wall. A monument on Front Street, downtown Toronto, dedicated to the labour movement, reminds us of the commitment to the prevention of workplace injury and illness.

Toronto Tuesday: 01.01

Volume 1, Edition 1

Starting this week, ‘Toronto Tuesday’ will be a weekly photo feature about random stuff (landmarks, people, culture, seasons, etc.) in my city.

It’s snowing today. Here are some pictures from the heart of the city:

University Ave from Queen St. West
University Ave. as seen when one exits Osgoode subway station.

Nathan Phillips Square and Old City hall

The reflecting pool in the middle of the square is converted to an ice rink during winter. This is where I crashed on ice everyday, until one day I could ice skate. :)

The ‘new’ Toronto City Hall (old city hall is in the picture above) is an imposing structure and its modernist design is a distinctive landmark of the city.
