Fog

Saturday night the city was blanketed in fog.
Coming back from a lovely dinner at a place called the Harbord House, the streets were perfect for a mystery.
The next day we went to something called the brickworks. The site used to be a brick factory and is now a farmers market, visitors center, gallery space and park. Quite interesting and unusual but not complete. 





Sunset

M and I went to the AGO, when we realised the sun was setting, we raced to the balconies (Franks little mushroom staircases) to see it.

M took some good pics, I only had my camera phone, so here you go. The colours are nearly as vibrant as in real life, the sky was streaked with the most gorgeous pinks and oranges.

U of T

This morning we went for a bike ride through UofT. There are some very pretty corners on campus, especially on a Saturday morning when there arent many people around. The buildings are very 1800's with many revival styles present. But mostly particularily are several courtyards which are a rare but lovely finding here.
We also popped into the Hart House, one of the earliest student centers in North America. It is a Gothic Revival building also with a courtyard. But to add to the experience, when we walked in there was choir practice going on. And the sounds filled the builiding. It quite felt as if one had walked into Hogwarts.
