The long weekend was beautiful!

Queen Street West
This is from my neighborhood which I love a lot.

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 (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.

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

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.

Toronto city hall

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.
