Donated stone

I found a sort of memorial garden along the waters edge in Sarnia, Ontario. It was a nice place for a stroll, especially on such a lovely, sunny day! For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.

October theme day: Silhouette

I was sort of stumped on what to use for this month's theme day photo. So I've worked with this skyline shot a bit to make it somewhat of a silhouette. Not sure if I like the result, but the colors are interesting. 

For more silhouettes, take a look here.

Blue Waters Bridge

I spent an unexpected weekend in Sarnia, Ontario a few weeks back. My husband and I had planned to cross this bridge to pass the weekend in Detroit, but car troubles kept us on the Canadian side. It was fun exploring the city on foot. And you can certainly see why this border crossing is called the Blue Waters Bride - a more apt name couldn't be found! For more bridges, take a look at Sunday Bridges.

The Tritons

I pass this sculpture every time I go to Yorkdale Mall and I always mean to get a photo of it. So the last time I was there, I actually did! The dramatic sky makes an interesting background for these figures who appear to be floating. Hope you have big plans for the weekend. Happy Friday!

Saint Patrick

A look at one of the subway stations on the (limited) network of Toronto. You can't really tell from this photo, but the tiles in this station are an ugly green colour. Although it's not a nice green, no other colour will do for Saint Patty's!

Old City Hall

I love the look of Toronto's Old City Hall. It is now used as a courthouse. Although you can visit inside, you can't take photos. But there's lots of nice photo opportunities from the outside!

Sweet rest

Young Jim Logan has been resting in this spot  in Hamilton Cemetery since 1937. A very nice tribute to him from his loving wife, Evelyn. For more cemetery shots, visit Tapophile Tragics.

Tree of life

I found this mural painted on the wall just inside the Brandt House. I'm not sure what the significance of it is, but I think it might have something to do with the summer camps they host there as the names on the leaves were quite modern. In any case, it's a nice welcome to the museum! For more murals, take a look at Monday Murals.

Sunbathing swans

A look back at summer on the Toronto islands. Those swans and ducks seem to be enjoying the wonderful weather. I must admit, I wouldn't mind flying south for the winter! For more reflections, take a look at Weekend Reflections.

Pillars of Justice

I found the Pillars of Justice in downtown Toronto near the courthouse. There are actually only eleven jurors standing together, but you can see a space for the twelfth - that's the space for you! I rather like this idea of interactive art. Lots of people like to take their photo with the statue and I think that's a great sign of success for this piece of public art.

Zipper

This is my favourite shot from The Ex. It's hard to explain exactly what the zipper is - but let's just say it's not for the faint of stomach! Hope you've got some nice plans for the weekend. It looks like mine is going to include quite a bit of rain.

Classic

The ferris wheel is a fair classic. I love the lights and color against the night sky!

Heart attack on a stick

These days a fair isn't complete without a fried food stand. I've never tried the deep fried butter, but I've heard it's delicious. I just can't fathom eating a stick of butter though.

If you're in the mood - you can get the grand slam deal for only $35. I think my arteries will thank me for not trying it! For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.

Fun times!

I don't like getting on the rides at the fair, but they make for great photography subjects! For more red, take a look at Ruby Tuesday.

Tagged wall

I consider this more of a tagging than an artistic mural, but I have to admit I rather like the bright colors. Misk is apparently somewhat of a known artist. I guess there are worse things to look at in a dirty old laneway off Spadina! For more murals, visit Mural Mondays.
