John FitzGerald's photos

I managed to include my shoe at bottom right. I fear my career in acrobatics is drawing to a close.

Thanks to Canadian Pacific I have learned that the sign is advertising pig blood curd (an informative link is in his comment below).

To my eyes every colour of the rainbow is represented here, except indigo. I believe, as I mentioned to Robert Cabaret under the day before yesterday's photograph, that not only do different languages see different colours, but so do different individuals who speak the same language. For example, I don't think indigo is a distinctive colour at all, and people seem to have different ideas about what's red and what's orange (and what's pink, which doesn't make it into the rainbow at all). So I'm interested in hearing what you think. Thanks to Robert for inspiring this, and thanks to all commenters. ===== And now I've decided that's pink, not red. So my colour perception has changed since this morning.

Three other views of the park are in PiPs in the upper left corner. By 2015 there were so many trees in the park that they were robbing each other of water, so from 2015 to 2017 the park was renovated to a design by Claude Cormier + Associés.

The PiP at upper left shows another photo of this cluster.

The mural is Deer Diana by Alfalfa. You find it by going through an archway beside 642 King St. W. in Toronto into this little courtyard. This is the first step in, coincidentally, one of the projects of the STEPS initiative. Part of the plan here is to "create an integrated network of public laneways showcasing public art. " Well this is a good start, eh? I'll be keeping an eye on this. ====== As rdhinmn points out below, in classical mythology Diana turned Actaeon into a deer, and his hunting dogs killed him. Thanks to Bob for clarifying that. He may so far be the only person other than Alfalfa to get the allusion. ====== About the STEPS initiative: stepsinitiative.com About the mural: stepsinitiative.com/project/deer-diana Alfalfa on Instagram: www.instagram.com/a_l_f_a_l_f_a/?hl=en

This scaffolding at Dundas and University will be coming down soon, so enjoy the geometry and shadows while you can. Or else.
