Out and about in Toronto

Here is another photo of the Italian Galleria at the AGO in Toronto.

This is the Italian Galleria at the Art Gallery of Ontario.  The AGO was designed by architect Frank Gehry whose designs are often controversial.  Some might squawk at the cost of a facade like this but it is an absolutely spectacular space in which to be.

This is a view from the south of the Art Gallery of Ontario.  It's a great way to approach the Gallery as it means you get to stroll through Grange Park. If you come from the north you have to do so via Dundas street which is funky but no match for the park.

I used Oloneo Photo Engine to edit this image; it's a little freaky but I was headed for the art gallery and in the mood for something fun.

There's a lovely little chapel in Grange Park; Here's a detail shot of the entrance.  I'd love to know what the storys with regard to that little patch job on the right hand door panel.

Here is a detail shot of the portico at Union Station in downtown Toronto.

Union Station in Toronto.  I really like the final version of this photo - it looks like a pencil rendering.

Canon G11 capture; f5 at 1/50 sec at 3200 ISO.  Black and white conversion in Oloneo Photo Engine.

I had a day to myself in Toronto recently and took my favourite walkin' 'round camera - the Canon G11 - along for the day.  Here's the first of a handful of photos from the day out.
