The Toronto look

Like the clarity and bright colours.

Me, too, Jaap.

So alike and so different at the same time. I've been viewing large and playing spot the difference.

A refreshing sign that Individuality isn't dead quite yet, Jean.

Marvelous shot!

Thanks, William.

Its cute and warm,tottaly opposite modern architecture,with that cubes and glass.
Just recently listen on radio about this craziness they do in Dubai and similar places in middle east,they put so much glass and you can imagine the cost of cooling that buildings,crazy world.

They do the same thing here, Marko. Toronto is filling up with glass towers. At one point Toronto was ordering so much glass that the manufacturers were slipping in defective glass to make up the orders -- which soon came flying off the buildings.

So we're building a city of buildings that are expensive to heat in winter, and expensive to cool in summer.

A comfortable looking neighborhood. Three story houses - "shotgun" interiors? Ant the one at right is quite festive - I bet the householder puts garlands on the railings for Christmas.

From my knowledge of this type of house, Bob, I'd say they probably started out with a kitchen and a front and back sitting-room on the ground floor. The back sitting room would end up as a dining room when families stopped sharing them.

Like the bright colors and the composition very much, John !

Thanks, Ulrich, and thanks to the homeowners.

The architectural style is appealing, the tight space between houses less so.

I apologize for the late reply, TLC. One of the things that strikes me when I go to towns outside Greater Toronto is the much greater space between houses. The oldest parts of Torotno are full of very narrow terrace houses, and very narrow houses of all types.

Such a delightfully eclectic group of houses John................I especially like the one on the right is particularly nice!

This is a terrific photo too..........clean, sharp and very detialed with a lovely colour palette!

Thank you very much, Keith. It may be time to go photograph these neighbourhoods again.

Lovely houses, I especially like the one with the flower decoration!

Me, too, Dida.

The white grillwork is extra fancy.
