The "WaveDeck" at Toronto ....

"The WaveDeck spans one of Toronto's many disused boatslips, and creates an attractive usable feature where none existed before."
So sayeth (in as many words) the blurb on this curvy addition to the Toronto landscape.
I haven't made my mind up yet!!

Wheeee ....



Definitly for the younger generation .....

Cirque Du Soleil. The other reason we were in Toronto ....

The Big Top.
We weren't allowed to take any pics of the show :-( so I had to be content with watching a wonderful performance, and of a few pics outside ....



Trying to make our escape after the show!!
The traffic was horrendous, so we just stayed put, listened to the radio for a bit, and watched the other guys inch their way homeward.
We made our way when the main rush had long gone :-)

In Toronto for a day out .....

Condo living .....

One day we'll take a ride on one of those .....

Building blocks .....

The Gooderman Building, more commonly called the "Flatiron Building" in Wellington St, was built in 1892.
They built it for the grand sum of $18,000. It was the head office of Gooderman and Worts Distillery until 1952, and was sold in 1957.
The CN Tower is hiding on the extreme left, and probably cost a bit more than 18 grand!!
