Toronto Streets - Not Getting Enough Art

I love and enjoy my lunch walks. The things I see all around my workplace.

Fronting the Gardiner Museum, Canada's national ceramic museum.

This shiny, bejewelled Buddha got me conflicted it for a while. I thought Buddha was all simplicity, or maybe this is not Buddha. Along Avenue Road.

Just because. Still along Avenue Road.

Art Around John Street

John Street, Toronto
November 4, 2017

Before watching the movies at the Bell Lightbox we had some time to wander around the area and enjoyed some interesting, colorful, artsy things that caught my eye.

Taped on a alley door.

Must be a publishing house for fiction works. 

The words behind me were actually the opening statement of H.G. Well's "War of the Worlds".

Sometimes you have to look up. 

A beautiful work of art.

You will surely take a second look if you will see that it is completely made of push pins.

 It is always good to prowl ordinary places and be interested in anything.

More photos taken on our last visit to Uxbridge.

Portion of the Main Street.

Aside from street art - I also enjoy noting store business signs with the style and fonts they use.

Inside Savon Du Bois where we had tea with zucchini walnut muffin. 

Another view of the Main street.

Train station where several trips are scheduled depending on season.

Massachusetts, USA - Shelburne Falls 2

Shelburne Falls was a small village and we did not spend a lot of time here but still I managed to enjoy the place and took photos of a lot of things I found interesting. 

Like store signs.

Massachusetts, USA - A Town Called Lee

After all that Museum hopping in Springfield, we headed home but made a short stop at a town called Lee. 

This shop was the first that caught my eye.

Too bad the cafe was closed so we just wandered around and took photos of some store signage. 

Also interesting were the 19th century architecture of the Main Street buildings.

We ended up going back to Pittsfield from here as the restaurant we wanted to have dinner at was full and was not accepting walk-ins (reservations only). Too bad.
