Beatiful home in The Beaches

If I were ever to have enough money (1 million plus) to purchase a home in Toronto’s very expensive The Beach area, this would be one of the homes that I’d aspire to live in.

It’s colorful, large and has not one, but two wrap around balcony/verandas.

This house faces one of the most popular beaches in the area so it comes with not only a beautiful view, but traffic problems, cars parked along it’s street and of course crowds of people. That would be the only downside of living in such a popular area, but I’m sure I’d get used to it if I were able to afford such a lovely home.

Standing Tall

Toronto – Downtown

This tall building is part of Toronto’s Famous Eaton’s Center Shopping mall in the heart of downtown.

The view from within

Eatons Center, Toronto, Ontario – The ceiling in several areas is made of glass so a lot of light comes into this large shopping mall.

South on Yonge

In early July parts of the city of Toronto shut down for street festivals.

This is Yonge street in downtown Toronto. It’s been claimed in the past to be the longest street in the world as it begins near Lake Ontario in Toronto, Ontario and ends in the province of Manitoba – more than 1178 miles or 1896 Km later.

On this July day I took advantage of the street being shut down and stood in the middle of the normally busy street to take my shot. This photo was taken with my Canon digital SLR EOS 30D.
