Toronto. Everything looks teeny-tiny in this view...so try the big one! Click the pick or type Z.

An old photo re-edited. The women are on the roof of the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto.

Once again I prefer the big version, which you can see by clicking the pic or typing Z.

I prefer the bigger version myself. Click the pic or type Z to see if you agree!

Another snap I bought at St. Lawrence Market in Toronto. This looks like Gordie Howe to me, but when I posted this on Flickr no one agreed. But here's a link to a photo of our man receiving the Hart Trophy in 1963, the year this photo was developed. a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/0205/nhl_howe06_1440.jpg See? It's Gordie. "Who's Gordie?" I hear overseas voices asking. Here's a link to his article in the Canadian Encyclopedia. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/gordie-howe

A brighter re-edit of an old photo.

The top of a cast of the memorial of Marchese Spinetta Malaspina (1430-5) in the East Cast Court.

More snaps I found at the St. Lawrence Market Sunday collectibles show in Toronto. I like the big version -- see if you do too! Just click the pic or type Z! Submitted to the Vintage Photos Theme Park for the "Putting On the Ritz" theme.

Also known as St. Jamestown. Looks bigger big. Click the pic or type Z.

Morning rush.

Henry Moore's Large Two Forms is probably the most popular public sculpture in Toronto, now that Ivor Lewis's statue of Timothy Eaton is less accessible to the public. Part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario, from 1974 to 2017 it stood at the corner of Dundas Street West and McCaul Street, at the northeast corner of the AGO. In 2017 it was moved to Grange Park, which is owned by the AGO, at the southwest end of the gallery.

As usual the excellent ad photograph is uncredited.

Stock Yards Village. It is not a stockyard, it is nowhere near a stockyard, and it is not a village. They want to confuse us. OK, there used to be a big stockyard across the street, but it was demolished in 1994, long before there was a Stock Yards Village.

Five years ago. Dundas rhymes with "spun glass", not "stunned us".
