John FitzGerald's photos

Just another day in Toronto, December 5, 2018.

Somebody else's orange peel. I just found it. Don't look at me, eh? Oh, you can't.

I think this was taken near the intersection of King St. West and Spadina Ave. I like the full-screen view. Your opinion may vary.

We haven't had snow so far this fall, but ten years ago, when this was taken, we'd had it by November 14.

Snowmobile gloves at the dollar store. It's a Canadian dollar store so they probably cost more than a dollar. I get mine at Canadian Tire -- there's always a rack near the checkout. As I got older my hands suddenly started going numb much quicker in winter, so I switched to these.. This is a re-edit of an older post, but I think I only posted it on Flickr back when Flickr was tolerable.

I managed to accidentally delete yesterday's version of this photo while trying to delete a note. I apologize to everyone whose comment I lost. As you may have noticed, my profile says I like bright colours and shiny things, so I decided to make the photo brighter to solve a problem with pert of the ohoto with part of the photo being brighter than the rest. So here it is. I just noticed I created a new flaw but this will be the final version, unless I change my mind. Or what passes for one.

Coming out of Dupont station.

Fred J. Talzig, of Freelton, Ontario, is a prolific sculptor. His work reflects the ambivalence of the human experience, exploring the juxtaposition of beauty and darkness, growth and decay, and the constant struggle between opposing forces. Through his observations of nature, Talzig captures the organic essence of life and transforms it into thought-provoking pieces that challenge our perceptions of the world around us. Each sculpture is a pilgrimage through the complexities of the human condition, inviting viewers to reflect and contemplate the intricacies of existence. With his masterful use of form and texture, Talzig's sculptures evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation, inviting viewers to embark on their own introspective journey.

The pillar belongs to the Alliance Atlantis Building in Toronto, which (the building) opened in 1982. The balconies are on 85 Bloor (East), which opened in 2005. The architect for both buildings was Page + Steele Inc.

An upscale bay-and-gable house with a much larger footprint than most, in the Annex in Toronto, It was built in 1891. This photo was taken in 2008; Google Maps shows this house in 2023 being used as a site office on a construction site. Its paint has been removed (many old houses in Toronto were painted in the 1960s thus concealing the fine 19th-century brick), and the building is intended to stand alone after construction is completed.

Somewhere in Toronto in November, 2018.
