- Table or bench?
In Little India, outdoor furniture by sidewalk provided by restaurant, either as low tables or high benches. Short stools underneath add to options. Early before dinner rush. - Edward Gardens
Annual visit to renew vows for the 30th time, with three sons still in town. Cool summer day encouraged more leisurely walk. We watched the ducks in the stream, and had a woodchuck cross our path, that our city-raised sons hadn't seen live, before. Fewer visitors to the park, on a Monday afternoon. (Edward Gardens, Don Mills, Toronto) 20150824 - Watershed map of Toronto
Sheet metal installation orienting five Toronto rivers, by Ferrucio Sardella. At the Evergreen Brick Works, on the banks of Mud Creek, off the Lower Don River. (Toronto) - UBC University Blvd
Rain or shine rail jam @UbcSkiAndBoard club trucked in snow on a cool fall day. Student climbed to top of bales of hay, and then slid downhill to grind a rail skateboard style. Discovered this was the 10th annual event, a wild spectacle that eastern Canadians find bizarre. Another change in UBC since I studies here in the 1980s. (University Blvd., University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC) 20171027 - Skylight rainbow
Low stress Monday pm departure to Europe, time to admire the small touches that humanise an airport terminal. From what perspective would we have to view a rainbow, to see the other side of the circle arc? (Pearson Airport Terminal 1 departures, Toronto, Ontario) 20151109 - Ikea
Vackis alarm clock at $1.99 was cheaper than the package of Knackebrod Rag rye crispbread made in Finland. DY really misses her old Braun with the luminous hands, quality analog products are now hard to find. (Ikea, Provost Drive, North York, Ontario) 20170914 - Second City Chicago Mainstage
View from the sound pit alongside the stage during intermission. "The Winner of Our Discontent" put humour into the current political situation following the last presidential election in the United States, plus some local Chicago humour. Improvisation is live and well. (Second City Mainstage, North Wells Street, Chicago, Illinois) 20170507 - Deere & Co. World HQ
Combine has 14-foot wide wheelbase, so can be legally driven on the road, if the corn header is removed. Impressive front entrance display for a Fortune 100 company. (Deere & Company World Headquarters, East Moline, Illinois) 20170504 - Salina, Iowa
Out west window, dusting of snow from prior days and pond frozen over. On north side, cows grazing in -12C/+11F frigid temperatures, we're inside with the furnace stoked with firewood cut on the property last year. One of two Internet service providers functional, maybe the technicians don't want to scale the tower until it warms up. (Salina, Iowa) 20161215 - Times Square
Sunday spring stroll down 7th Avenue, at temperature above freezing. Loose weekend before a Monday morning meeting. Benefits of a friend with a Manhattan apartment. (New York City) 20150322 - Robert Koenig, "Odyssey"
Forty male and female characters carved out of lime trees from the Carpinthian Mountains on southeast Poland. Part of the Polish Season organized by the University of Hull Faculty of Arts and Social Science, placed on a plaza in the central campus. Unfortunate barricade around the installation, presumably to deter damaged, but the fences are distracting. (U. Hull, UK) 20121119 140459 - White suits on parliament steps
Saturday night in Helsinki, this group isn't the only one dressed up for night out. Black is more popular for women with long eyelashes. - Willison Square
Midweek evening in Spadina Chinatown, restaurants are open for business but few pedestrians. Weekly family dinner out for a change, checks at the door for double vaccination and identification. Noticed lighted art installations on the drive home, we would be more conscious tourists if this wasn't our home town. (Willison Square, Spadina Chinatown, Toronto, Ontario) 20211020 - Blue Water Bridge view north
Crossing St. Clair River westbound from Sarnia to Port Huron on a Tuesday noon means no delays. Landmark lighthouse, is that a boat? - Sky Dragon
Mid-autumn festival dinner on a busy a Toronto weekend. Streets blocked for Nuit Blanche and Invictus Games, delaying arrivals. (Sky Dragon, Spadina Chinatown, Toronto, Ontario) 20170930
