Old and new


It was a bit strange at the old Fort York. It's really right in the middle of downtown and you definitely feel the juxtaposition of old and new when you take a look around. That bridge you see is the Gardiner Expressway, one of the busier roads that take commuters into town. I wonder what old Simcoe would think about his fort now?

For a look at other bridges from around the world, take a look at Sunday Bridges.

The view from the buildings must be as interesting!

Halycon, I love that stone wall in front of the bridge, I take from the Fort. Such a difference, it would be quite strange to wake up and see such a modern atmosphere.

Fort York is a hidden oddity. Great view you've taken.

It looks like you Photoshopped it!

This photo should be in the dictionary under the word: juxtaposition! The old brick wall and/or the skyscrapers really stand out like a sore thumb when contrasted against each other. This is a great catch!

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
