Bond Street and beyond

Co-op housing in Toronto

A co-op building on Richmond St. East

Another day, another walk. Today I decided to peruse Bond Street where a number of old historic buildings nestle beneath old maple leaf trees. Toronto is awash in modern and historic buildings, and you can’t walk very far without confronting the juxtaposition of old meets new. Toronto could do more to preserve these haunts, but the ones that have been protected are impressive and proud pieces of architecture. I am struggling to keep my camera straight! Practice makes perfect, yet perfection is far.
