**MIA, are the ravine and the posh neighbourhood (Rosedale) pics. I'll upload and post them late.
Okay, so before I start I m apologize for the overall lack of quality and skill of the photographs. They were most taken in horrid and rainy conditions and often photos were rushed because this as one of the few times I have ever done a phototour all by myself, so I felt quite uncomfortable taking shots of random urban scenes with people around and often in sketchy neighourhoods.
So anyways, without any further delays here are my pics:
Collier Street, a nice side street east of Rosedale and Yorkville lined with Victorians.
The Manulife headquarters building on Bloor Street East
Nice church across the street
Looking down Jarvis Street.
Despite being an infamously hideous pomo building, the Rogers building did provide me with this awesome perspective
This led to some nice back street with some nice Vics...forgot what the street name was though... =\
Now we reach St. Jamestown, a series of apartment complexes that constitute one of TO's densest areas...also known to be a gritty area.
Sherbourne Street
Hong Kong style density shot! lol
The former beautiful Second Empire, Knights of Columbus building now going to have a 32 storey condo built behind it
Dayumm!!! (Yeah I'm obsessive over Vics)
Didn't notice this was a funeral home until now, hope it's not a bad omen =(
I love this church
Earl Street, a hidden gem of a street lined with also nice Vics
Some nice Jarvis mansions
Don't get what all the hype about Jarvis being a notoriously slutty area is...I didn't notice any hookers here =\
This led to another neat little back street leading to Church Street
Church Street, ironically named while being the home of Toronto's gay community
Jarvis Collegiate
Thats gotta be the nicest "Mac's" in Toronto
The Radio City condo and National Ballet School complex, modern and historic in absolute harmony
Almost impossible to capture a shot of this building because of the trees in the way
Blurry but nice view of the Carlton Street streetwall. Almost died in the process of taking this photo...damn you Mercedes Benz :hell:
Allan Gardens, almost totally deserted on this rainy day
Only me, some random hobos, and a helluva lot of nasty pidgeons
This portion of Sherbourne Street is infamously filled with some of the "unclassiest" people in town. =( Nice buildings though...
This church might look nice and harmless but is actually a shelter for numerous homeless people and druggies
Yeah, the rain started to REALLY pour now, but I remained determined
Yuck and poo, Dundas Street East, IMO possibly the worse part of town
Around here, I encountered about 3 prostitutes, the skankiest and in my case the first hookers I've ever met in the city =(
Sure hella happy to leave that area
Some French school downtown
More row homes
Beuatiful Georgian row homes on Jarvis
The Merchandise Lofts building
St. Michael's Catholic Boys Choir School. I actually was given a chance to audition a place at this school but never made it, thus hindering my potential future music vocals career...meh never believed I stood much of a chance anyways...
St.Mike's Cathedral, my fav in the city
Massey Hall
Back alley grit!
Looking up Yonge Street
Okay okay, I broke my own rules here. This isn't exactly an east side downtown shot but I couldn't resist, I loved the angle
The Confederation Life Building, this street scene looked very London-ish to me
Victoria Street, very underrated
Excelsior Life complex
SP!RE, the new condo, a modernist beau
The Rosewater supper club building, a remnant of the former grandeur and class of Toronto Street
The King Edward hotel along King Street East
Colbourne Street
The British Colonial building
Front Street East has my favourite building in the city
The Gooderham building, the original Flatiron
Random shots of KIng Street while going home on the streetcar
To be finished...
