One of my favourite urban parts of Toronto is
Queen street. When the weather is nice, it's a great part of the city to do a little walk about and go for a coffee. I love going there to do one of my favourite past times - not shopping but
people watching.
One cold day, a friend and I decided to go out there and take some photos and I realized there's just some great art work there as well - Graffiti art, store signs, what have you, all great eye candy for amateur photographers. Check it out:
This pic is for my friend A.H. - It shows you the classic Toronto pic of the C.N. Tower and the TTC Street car.
My lunch - wanted to take advantage of the lighting and show the yumminess that was in front of me. Breakfast is my favourite meal. :)
Some Graffiti Art pics:
I bet you're wondering what this is. Its a picture of a dead tree covered with flyers, old and new with a picture of a full bloomed tree behind it. (Taken on Queen and Peter, I think)
Taken Near Queen St. West and Bathurst
Funny Batman graffiti
Funny Faces
Some pics of interesting store windows and signs:
"Sexy Bastard" boxers
"Judge Me" Door Number
"Jeasus Saves and So can you!" Advertisement - shame, shame
Pic of my friend and "Obedience is Key" poster
I wish the city of Toronto will consider taking on the Queen street (more specifically, Queen Street West) as a project and make that area a cultural centre for new artists, as well as be a tourist attraction. Instead of replacing the buildings that were burnt down a couple of years ago by condo buildings, they should make that area into a scquare, like in Europe where it's surrounded by cafes and there would be enough space for artists, sellers and entertainment artists to set up their business there and attract foreigners as well as locals. To maybe create a Toronto's own 'Camden Market'.
