Goldenrod grows between the boardwalk and the lake as a young man strolls by gazing, perhaps, wistfully, at the far side of the bay.

A large blue stegosaurus walks across a sandy playground towards a utility box painted with a fanciful blue and yellow dinosaur wearing purple headphones and bouncing a basketball.

A boarded up car wash has “Blame” emblazoned in giant graffiti letters. The tarmac around is cracked, goldenrod growing. In the foreground, a mound of refuse, beyond, a shining new condominium tower.

A gull fails to escape the frame, also, a different angle of Sir Casimir Gzowski’s drainpipe.

A sculpted sky hangs over a misty mouth of the Humber River, a modern condominium development on the far bank. On this side, the water is placid betwixt the shore and the breakwater, the rusted drainpipe points to the hazard buoy in the channel, and a gull wings toward the left edge of the frame.

A pair of muskoka chairs sit, chained together on the beach, facing the lake on a still and foggy day. Gulls and cormorants line the breakwater and our view is framed by two trees.

A fenced off, derelict, and decaying gas station occupies space next to shiny, new condominium towers with swooping lines. To the right, a low structure, which was likely the car wash, has block, graffiti letters that declare “BLAME”.

There have been updates and, at this time, it behoves me to mention that prints are available locally. I can make giclee prints on paper sizes up to 17x22” and I do have a limited amount of silver gelatin prints of selected work on hand.

The side view of some graffiti laden buildings in Kensington Market, Toronto. Heavily layered at street level, the art layers get thinner and more rudimentary as they get further from the ground.

A flying saucer like disc shaped roof stands on seven thin metal poles beside a path through a wooded valley. Two concrete slabs may serve as benches and an actual park bench sits by the path. A stone structure provides a back to the pavilion.

Mystery of the #Toronto Subway Deer appears to be solved.

An 11,300-year old specimen unearthed at Islington Station, with horizontal antlers, has excellent name Torontoceros hypogaeus ("horned Toronto deer from the underground").

Now we know it's not a caribou...

Crowds pass the Fresh-Cut Fries and the Corn Dogs stands as the teacup and saucer ferris wheel spins in the night. The rainbow colours of the Euroslide saturate the night with blurs of riders sliding down. The large ferris wheel and The Hurricane rides are blurred in the nighttime long exposure. The vintage swing ride lights up as it spins.

A young man in a white, sleeveless shirt sits, hunched over in concentration at a shooting game, on a vintage chrome and red naugahyde stool. An earlier trophy sits on his lap. A large pink stuffy dominates the frame as it hangs from the ceiling of a game stall. We cannot see the game but, amid the blur of people on the move, a young child stands still and transfixed by it. A couple stand considering the possibilities of a game entitled “Shoot Out”.

Gambling in the dark: the Ontario Lottery and Gambling paddock looks retro and futuristic simultaneously in the night. A chaotic whirl of motion around a game stall that features rubber mallets and small catapults on an astroturf ledge. Texaco Gasoline & Motor Oil proclaims a neon sign next to a racetrack game.
