TPOD: Enjoying the Breeze

Sun, 04 May 2008 03:17:07 +0000

Well, I just finished my last exam for the year and am definitely in decompression mode. Additionally, the exam made it a bit difficult for me to come with something insightful today, so instead I’ve gone through pictures on Flickr to find you an excellent Toronto picture to act as a holdover to tomorrow. In a city that is so identified with the colour blue, I think a picture like this definitely does a lot to bring the city home.

TPOD: Downtown in Time Elapse Fashion

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 01:52:45 +0000

Up today is a fantastic picture taken and laced together by wvs on Flickr (released under the CC-ANNDW 2.0 License). It’s six different pictures of the Toronto downtown core, with each picture taken two hours apart and then parts of the pictures stitched together in order to create a time elapse effect. I think it’s one of the best Toronto pictures I’ve ever seen and hats off to the person that took it and edited the parts together.

A nifty little picture of the Rogers Centre, home of Toronto’s professional baseball franchise, before the start of a game. The seats are empty, which creates a nice opportunity for a photo op.

Toronto Subway Buttons!

If you read The Toronto Traveler on a regular basis, then chances are you’ve seen me refer to the city’s subway system more than a few times. Toronto is one of those cities that would not be the same without its subway system. Besides allowing hundreds of thousands of people the chance to get to work every day, the subway and the larger public transit network within Toronto and the surrounding area is absolutely essential for tourism in the city. This is why I include information about subway stations in all of my event postings, because I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of people that read this blog use that method of transportation as their primary means of getting around the city (I know I do!).

In that spirit, here’s a nifty little picture that I found on Flickr. It’s a set of Toronto subway buttons, with the background of each button matching the actual tiling for that subway station. The stations that you can see here are in the downtown core and waterfront areas of the city, which is why the names might be more recognizable to you than some of the other stations around. I thought it was a pretty cool picture, so I decided to pass it on to you.
