City Hall

The City of Toronto decked out for the holidays.

There's an ample number of photographers taking pretty pictures of pleasant scenes, so I don't generally feel the need to join their ranks. This is a rare photo for me: no graffiti, no urban wildlife, and everything in it still works for its original purpose.

Making a Statement

Taken underneath the Bathurst Street Bridge, where street kids lived until the adjacent warehouse was demolished.

According to the developer, the future condos are "designed to be an exclusive retreat where people just like you can refresh and renew in an urban waterfront getaway."

I have broken the links to hundreds and hundreds of photos, which will take a long time to repair. The workaround is to replace "photo.matthewpiers" in the link URL with "matthewpiers.smugmug". Awkward, but only temporary.

This is happening because I have revamped matthewpiers dot com. More of what I write and photograph will be going there, so check it out as well.
