- Sherbourne Commons, south of Queens Quay East, under construction in the spring
Sherbourne Commons, south of Queens Quay East, is still under construction in late April 2009. The ditch doesn't have water flowing, and the sign for No Wading in the pool is superfluous (Toronto, Sunday) 20110424 1700 - Scarborough Beach boardwalk, April sunset (Toronto, Wednesday)
Boardwalk at Scarborough Beach, unseasonably warm evening, eye between two rain alerts. Walkers and cyclists out, light at 8:15 pm (Toronto, Wednesday) 20110427 2015 - When was that building demolished? Front Street East at Church Street (Toronto) 20110428 1815
Building demolished at one of the oldest intersections in Toronto. Front Street at Church Street would have been near the waterfront of the town of York, before landfill moved the shoreline blocks south - Bronze of Lester B. Pearson by Niilo Kalerno Kallio, Toronto Pearson Airport, Terminal 1
A gift from Antti Potila, president of Finnair 1989. The irony is that this bronze is in Terminal 1, after the security scan and overlooking the plaza to the Air Canada domestic gates, while Finnair flies to Terminal 3. - Parliament Buildings of the Government of Canada, on the Ottawa River
A bright spring morning, with an inspiring view of the houses of parliament in Ottawa. From a 26th floor hotel view, the natural splendour of the Canadian urban forest is inspiring (Wednesday) - Birch bark canoe, one of two, the other a gift to Trudeau, on display at YOW
A birch bark canoe by Patrick Maranda, one of two, the other presented to Pierre Trudeau as a wedding gift in 1971. Now on display opposite gate 17 at Ottawa International Airport, near the waterfall - Kites and tent at Woodbine Beach, Victoria Day 2011
A string of kites, and a snall tent on the sand at Woodbine Beach. Victoria Day marks the unofficial start of summer in Canada. Shorts and sandals at 24 degrees C, cool breeze. 20110523 1800 - Evergreen Brickworks from the Governor's Bridge Lookout
First stop on Saturday cultural tour of Toronto with brother's family from Los Angeles. Kids climbed hill instead of gravel walk, risking muddy clothes for the rest of day (Toronto) - Summer umbrellas on Gould Street west of Victoria Street into Yonge Street
Ryerson University taking over Gould Street for a pedestrian mall east of Yonge Street, one north of Dundas Street. A permanent change to the streetscape, or a temporary use during construction? - Spiral staircase down to 3rd floor, AGO south
Douglas fir staircase down to the third floor, Art Gallery of Ontario. The material and curve are a Frank Gehry signature. - Pedestrians and traffic rerouted at Queen Street West at John Street
The traffic and sidewalk mess at Queen Street West at John Street. Signs say 2011 Muchmusoc Video Awards on Sunday, and setup starts on Tuesday. Travel by bicycle beats car, streetcar, and walking. (Toronto) 20110615 1800 - Time capsule from 1954 IBM opened at #ibm100
Originally put in cornerstone at 844 Don Mills Road in 1954, the time capsule was presented for #ibm100 by Celestica, as a spinoff of IBM Canada. Includes brochures for electric typewriter, card verifier, photos of 1954 Governor General of Canada, IBM Country Club (Markham) 20110616 - Sargasso, by Philip Beesley, in the Allen Lambert Gallery at Brookfield Place
Part of the Luminato festival, an installation titled Sargasso, by Philip Beesley, suspended in the main thoroughfare named the Allen Lambert Galleria in Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street. I listened to the downloadable MP3 commentary, leading me to think that the nylon cables have stretched so that the canopy that is supposed to hover at one metre is at one foot, 8 days after the work was opened. (Toronto) 20110616 2100 www.luminato.com/2011/sargasso - Sunday morning on 16th Avenue Denver
Colorado 7:30 a.m. Mountain Time for a traveller from Eastern Time means search for breakfast finds sleepy main street. Last night had many pedestrians on 16th Avenue, but early morning has free bus running in front of closed storefronts (Denver) 20110619 0730 - The Big Blue Bear, Denver Convention Centre
"I See What You Mean", the 40-foot blue bear by Lawrence Argent, installed in 2005 in front of the Colorado Convention Centre in downtown Denver. The venue is so huge that an animal that size would feel at home, 20110621 1315
