toronto in december

 i went back to ontario to spend the holidays with my family.
my flight there was cancelled due to a fuel leak on the plane.
so i arrived in toronto the next day.  i went with pooch lucys (oldest daughters ) boyfriend to see black swan.
 walking through the manulife center, we took some pics of the sparkly decorations
 black swan was amazing btw


thats him taking the pic and me to the left of him



 oops, this one was supposed to be turned








the next 2 are buildings i liked along the way







pretty sure this was on the side of the liquor store




this one was on the subway




and this, maybe the best graffiti i have ever seen!






sighhhh

all for now

    Great photographs Laura......I like the one that is the wrong way up !!!!! If you hadn't have said, I would never have known !!!!
    .... pretty clever graffiti too.
    My friend went to see Black Swan and didn't like it at all !!!! Isn't it funny how differently people find a film ? XXXX

    Pretty cool reflections on the Christmas decorations. Also like the b&w façade of the beautiful building. And of course David 'Ziggy Stardust' Bowie too. Can't wait to watch Black Swan, by the way.

    Great random shots that all together make for particularly good viewing. And the common thread of the color red (whether planned or not) ties it all together nicely. Love photo series like this.
    Have a great Sunday,
    Michael
