*As posted in the international photography section:

So yeah, today was the first day of great weather after a long and cold winter and spring is finally starting to show. Perfect for photo taking too, clear blue skies and sunshine.

Me and my buddy decided to walk around areas of downtown (mainly Eastside) and go on a photo tour, Enjoy!!

Starting off at Riverdale Park with the great view overlooking the skyline:

Cabbagetown which I must confess has quickly become my favourite of Toronto's historical neighbourhoods:

As you can see, I am obsessed over Victorians!

Found this neat preserved facade structure inside Ryerson campus, found it interesting because it only has the remaining structural facade left, first time I saw this in Toronto. Reminds me of the Ruins of St. Paul in Macau:

A congregation of junkies @ YD Square for the "420" (4:20 on April 20) day in which everyone gets together to smoke up some Mary jane ;). The official celebration took place @ Kensington Market.
