John FitzGerald's photos

The i in Spadina is long and in the stressed syllable. I prefer the bigger versions myself. Click the pic or type Z for a much bigger version, and then click the frame at top right to see it on the full screen. This was taken from Spadina Road, but I have included it in my Spadina Avenue album because it shows Spadina Avenue on the left.

Fence as aesthetic accessory.

The lunchtime crowd is starting to arrive. The PiP at upper left has another view of the steps.

Old City Hall is a Richardsonian Romanesque building designed by E. J. Lennox. It opened in 1899 and was city hall until 1965. It is now a courthouse.

More Niagara Falls today. This is the World Peace Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa Temple, or Cham Shan Temple, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It is 6 km/4 mi downriver from the Falls, but still within the city. More about the temple here: www.visiting-niagara-falls.com/chamshantemple.html I posted a similar view on Flickr years ago, but this is a different shot. I tried eliminating all the negative space here but decided I lliked it this way.

July 17, 2021 We don't have mountains in Ontario, and I don't take many pictures of flowers, so I have only posted two photos so far in PICTURES FOR ANDY. a group set up to encourage Andy Rodker in his recovery from Covid-19. Today I was excited to learn that Andy was working in the gym daily with the goal of getting back to rock-climbing in the mountains. And then I realized that while we don't have mountains here, we certainly have rock. So here, Andy, is a photo of the Niagara Gorge and best wishes for your return to the challenge of rock-climbing. ===== The Niagara Gorge is a 12-km stretch along the Niagara River that was carved out by Niagara Falls as they receded upstream at a rate of a kilometre every thousand years. This was taken on the Ontario side at Devil's Hole Rapids just north of the whirlpool with the American side in the background.. Both sides of the gorge (Ontario and New York) have well-tended parkways and many places to stop to enjoy the view.
