- 20111112-Planters-EastYorkCivicCentre
With frost coming, does the city put cabbages into its planters? I'm not a gardener, so I don't recognize flora well. (East York Civic Centre) 20111112 1549 - Pantages fixture
Bentwood hanging electrical light in the Rehearsal Hall of the Pantages Hotel. While the venue name suggests entertainment, the Canon Theatre is down the street. Today's meeting is technical briefings with the usual PowerPoint. Long room, good sound reinforcement for presenters. (Toronto) 20111115 1540 - Red eggs for 100-day birthday party
Traditional Chinese symbol and celebration that baby will live. Our sons had one-month haircut parties, a little longer gives new mom an opportunity to catch up more on sleep. Ten course meal followed. (Markham) 20111119 2003 - Vancouver Chinatown gate on Pender Street
Dusk comes early in Vancouver, on walk from west to east Pender Street. Noticed more Chinese herbalists in 2 block radius than we have in Toronto. Encountered one of East Side Cultural Crawl sites, artist live/work space on third floor of Main Street building. (Vancouver) 20111120 16:36 - Container cranes, Port of Vancouver
Eastward view from Seabus headed south to Vancouver. Illustrates city as a working port on the Pacific Rim. Ferry route uses Port as landmark, then turns slightly west for Waterfront Station. Rainy morning had short respite before participation continued for rest of day. (Vancouver, B.C.) 20111121 1054 - Vancouver Art Gallery, 2nd floor landing
Collection leans towards the conceptual at Vancouver Art Gallery, lots of phenomenology in contemporary and last century works. Tuesday night admission by donation, visited with DY. Photographing art is not permitted, but some building features are scenic (Vancouver, BC) 20111122 1956 - Stainless steel text, Burrard St. and Cordova St.
Public art installation on west face of Vancouver building tower at Canada Place. Liam Gillick (2009) "Lying on top of a building the clouds / looked no near than when / I was lying on the street". With no spaces between the words, reading the text would be better on a non-rainy day to decipher the meaning. City of Vancouver Public Art Program, presumably in cooperation with the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel, where it's installed. (Vancouver, B.C.) 20111124 1258 - YVR, mountains to north
A clear day in Vancouver, after a week of steady rain. There was snow on the ground when I arrived. (Vancouver, BC) 20111125 1208 - Prince Edward Viaduct at dusk
View west from Danforth, towards towers at Bloor and Yonge. Red sky at sunset suggests sunny day tomorrow. Temperature just above freezing means winter pants, park and cap for cycling. Approaching the shortest day of the year, getting dark (Toronto) 20111202 1636 - Vegan Raw Festival
Christmas Cannelloni, with zucchini was wrap, red pepper and arugula for festive colours, cheese of cashews, agave, lemon juice and beetroot. Delicious. Free samples courtesy of Jennifer Italiano and her chef, from Live Food Bar (Toronto) 20111203 1438 - Scrap Metal Gallery entry

If this sign is off, the gallery is open but we forgot to turn the sign on." An installation titled "This Sign (For Scrap Metal), 2011, by Micah Lexier. Contemporary art at its finest, in a new private gallery in the back courtyard of 11 Dublin Street, in the Bloor Street West / Lansdowne Avenue neighbourhood (Toronto) 20111210 1505 - Scrap Metal Gallery, in the back courtyard down the laneway
The gallery is at 11 Dublin Street, but it's at the rear of the building. Visitors will need to walk east to the laneway, and then south to find the courtyard to the back. - Alpine Skis On Skytrain
Symbol of west coast living. Have seen riders with skis and snowboards on Skytrain as well as Seabus, because public transportation to North Vancouver slopes from home is so easy. (Vancouver, B.C.) 20111220 1554 - YTZ ferry
Landside terminal view of ferry to Billy Bishop Airport on Toronto Island. Runs every 15 minutes. This is my first time outbound from YTZ, as Air Canada only flies to Montreal from here. Porter Airlines dominates the terminal as its hubs. Free cafe in terminal is not Maple Leaf Lounge, but it's more democratic. (Toronto) 20120103 1324 - Montreal Chinatown Gate Mural
Snowy January morning on Rene Levesque Blvd. Chinatown Gate with mural across the street, at St. Laurent entry (Montreal) 20120105 0845
