Nui Blanche 2019


 The best executed of the exhibits I felt was Brandon Prince's photo collages on urban sprawl. His display showed very well what we had before the city grew out over farm land and natural spots.

The first one below showed the farm land that has been taken over by railway lines.




Natural waterways necessary for drainage of the land 
covered by housing development.


So many trees replaced by chaotic city life with it's busy intersections. 
The car has taken over so much of our land with it's noise and pollution.









At MaRs on College there was a projected stream running through the building with two oversized plastic bottles on display. A company showed off lighting tiles that were made of recycled plastic. The whole installation to me did not hit home the seriousness of the situation nor the mess that plastic waste has caused.










 

The building itself is stunning and gave a great experience 
but the art installation did nothing to make me feel for the environment.





Oversized plastic containers!
 
Just seemed a fun thing from the 70's, not a statement of the seriousness of the situation.
 
 
Meanwhile...
At city hall the crowds were mesmerized by a huge light installation that resembled the brightness of the moon!
 
 


There's a long line up to get close!
 
 
 


People everywhere you can squeeze in!




 
More sculptures to bring you wondering!


 Art to make ya laugh!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Giant telescope to show the galaxy!
Far out!




 The beauty of Roy Thompson Hall all aglow!

Flying men seen through the window!
 
 

 
Melting golden rhinos
and pink elk men surprise us!
 
We end our excursion gazing at a glowing orb down by the harbour.

 Fantastic show! Loved it!! Now its after 2 am and I'm exhausted!
Time for the long, cold ride home up hill!

CNE 2019!!



Hey! It's a Beautiful day!
Let's go to the EX!! 







 

Wow! Look at all the people!
How exciting!


First stop, the Enercare Center
For the Life Magazine Exhibit-
Their best photos from years past!



Gotta luv that food building!
We're on our way to the Art Gallery!






Past the Fire Hall
we see Kiddie Land!
Look at all the families having fun!



And here we are at the Art Gallery 
in the Elizabeth Building.

 Nostalgic posters


Great old photos of the Ex!







Just outside the Gallery is the  Princess Margaret Fountain
where I met new friends that are just like family!
Ya they'd like to be - and move in with you!
 
There are really beautiful flowers 
around the fountain this year!






The sun is going down-
Let's go watch it set behind the angel!
Turn around and you can see the lake!

  



Godzilla!!!!!!
Glad I was on the other side of Lake Shore!











No worries!
This young man took him down single handedly!







After dark the fairies came out!











 Just watch out for the lions and dragons!


 
 

And the bands played on!







The Midway came to life!! 






Buildings were transformed
to glowing structures!




 



 



Streets throughout the EX were aglow!
