Starting out we pass this new gleaming tower
just east of Yonge Street.
So aerodynamic, but on windy days
it sounds like a jet taking off!
From new to old
This one is part of a group
with very masculine features from the 1960's
But most have been torn down.
Here we are just north of Queen's Park
about to cut through to Harbord
This park is surrounded by
towers of many different styles!
Now we are crossing over to Harbord
and biking West
Passing some of the university buildings
Downtown towers gleaming in the distance
Behind more of the university buildings
Victorian architecture
contrasting the modern library
Jewish Campus Building
in modernist style
Bold colour under luminous sky!
Brilliant alley way
art gallery!
Let's ride on down to
Little Italy!
Great restaurants, many places to socialize!
Condos converting many notable architectural sites!
Sneaky Dees at Bathurst and College
A hot spot when it's open!
Kiddy corner is a Beautiful church inside a condo tower,
Wonderful space lit by modern stained glass wall at the back,
Quiet space for meditation and worship.
As we bike along College,
We see a historic fire hall,
kept immaculate, standing proud!
Across the side street is
Church Of St.Stephens-In-The-Fields,
One of the oldest in Toronto, built in 1858.
Spadina looking north,
we see the U of T School of Architecture
Looking south we see China Town!
And of course the CN Tower!
Modern Library complying with
the restrictions!
guarded by the overseeing CN tower!
U of T grounds north side,
The park normally a quieter spot but is now under construction.
Nice Reflections along the way!
Victorian architecture
against the modern tower on University.
we see Queen's Park to the North
and the spectacular curved tower at the corner.
It's lines are timeless!
General Hospital
Brand new building
Monolithic and bold against the sky!
The Ontario Fire Fighter's Memorial
at Queen's Park.
The Fire Fighter's Prayer
The stone at the entrance to the memorial.
Now we find ourselves back at Queen's park just south of Wellesley,
Where we started. Sure saw a lot of fine architecture!
Hope you enjoyed the ride!
