drum Festival at Queens PArk
Toronto Photos courtesy of ZOMorama Beta

ROM Crystal as a result of Michael Lee Chin's 50 M donation is complete, but there are problems and changes
the message from outside is a clear statement,
from inside, it has worked but not near 66%

more pics from Kensington and Lil Portugal,
fortunate to be in teim for Drumming Festival at Queens PArk
thus a fine weekend in JUne 2008

but memories remain
A: seeing the then recently excavated Jade Garment
and Bronze horses at the ROM - Royal Ontario Museum

B: spending a few nights at the Royal York Hotel and seeing then then new Royal Bank Tower

C. shopping for gtoceries and niknaks at one of 17 major ethnic asian malls and

D. eating - it's as good as Hong Kong and reasonably priced though I'd like somone to take me to Susur from his Haute Cuisine Fusion - cannoy afford to go on my own ;-(((

E. seeing wineries a stones throw from Rchmond Hill
such is the unrelenting Urban Sprawl

F. { "F" } for the 24/7 eternally congested and stress maker autobahn #401

Sunday July 28th, 2oo2,
a wet windy morning that ended up overcast,
during the homily, the Pontiff said :-
"You are the salt of
the earth...
You are the light of
the world" Mt. 5, 13.14 >>>http://www.wyd2002.org/

===By then the sun was beginning to shine. During the event John Paul II spoke spontaneously in French, English and Spanish.
As the Mass got under way, Bella Sarmiento, who was with a group from Los Angeles, said: "We go to Mass every Sunday, but this is the first time we go to Mass in the rain. What an experience!" >>>http://www.zenit.org/english/

Toronto Downtown

weather cam's view

the www continues to amaze me at it instant and virtual capabilities, on the WeatherCam was this pleasent early moning photo of Toronto,s waterfront and familiar landmarks.
this is certainly my favourite time of the day, before the four whells and bipeds being soiling the clear air and tranquility

set the Digi for rapid shoot,

Thise opulent residential towers takes the eyes away from the 8 lanes of traffic, we're there again,

whether on is in Honhg Kong, Johannesburg, Rio, Sydney or and major urban city, this is the stutus symbol of land developers, somewhat claustrophobic, but must admit that the vie from the higher floors with the clear vision, miles and kligs towards the horizon must be quite spectacular
from the highway

 Thank you for the tips and pictures on this city. Your in depth description of life conveys the image of culture.

 Hi Ken, glad to learn you are also a Toronto fan. I haven't been back there for many years, but I always used to like the city -- and my grandfather was born there in 1877, so it feels like home, sort of.
