Last Saturday, on the way to a movie in the city, and on the way out, i snapped a few shots. This is Richmond facing west at Parliament.


This is Dundas facing east at Spadina.


At Dundas and Sherbourne i believe.


On Friday after class i went into TO to take photos with Russ, wandering around Kensington Market again. First stop - lunch at Pho Hung at St Andrew's & Spadina. The place is pretty busy.


We were in the window facing Spadina.


Russ with his soup.


I had the Com Suon, Bi, Cha, Hot Gua (4 Mau) [sorry, no accents] - it was BBQ pork chop, rice with shredded pork, steamed 'quiche' (like dumpling filling covered in egg), and egg (with a pretty lacy bottom, lol). It was pretty tasty, though thankfully i only got the 'small'. I realized it's a version of what i have at Spring Rolls (with spring rolls instead of quiche, and lettuce salad instead of cole slaw).


After we walked up Spadina. Back to the art store. You know, i always thought the art figures were wood coloured and not caucasian, but here is an 'african' one.


The El-Mo!


Street music.


On Spadina Crescent north of College, one of the more interesting school designs.


Russ and i walked west along Russell, down Robert to College.


We were ducking into alleys and laneways looking for interesting things to shoot.


Walking west along College, we passed an old fire station.


Perhaps among the very few moose sculptures still intact (most lost their antlers).


Croft Street, really more of a lane than a street.


We made our way down Bathurst from College (this is a lane to the east of Bathurst).


Dundas facing southeast, east of Bathurst.


The area of Dundas & Carlyle.


Alexandra Park Arena.


We turned north up Augusta Ave, into the heart of Kensington.


Knapsack and parka do not make a skinny shadow, lol.


Ugh!


We went up Augusta to College (where this was taken on a pole).


Who do love? You!


We went east on College back to Spadina, down Spadina to Nassau (or Oxford), then west to Bellevue.


NO PARK IN GAY TIME!


We went south along Bellevue to Bellevue Square Park, then east and up Augusta to Bladwin.


No Delivery!


Then down Kensington Ave.


Down Kensington to Dundas, east to Spadina, then down the east side of Spadina.


Crazy Elvis hearse.


What a bargain!


Ah ha - dude, pants shoudn't need an instruction manual.


The sun on Queen Street was blindingly bright!


We stop for bathroom break and a drink at Second Cup - Russ treated me to a mixed berry smoothie.


Looking west along Queen into the setting sun.


Then it was east along Queen, headed back towards Spadina.


From the intersection at Spadina, looking east down Queen Street.


Back up Spadina.


From the parking garage looking south south east- the sun rapidly disappearing.


Looking east southeast.


Looking southwest - it was not this bright.


I estimate we walked a minimum of 7 km - probably considerably more, given all the wandering around laneways and such.
