Was downtown late this morning, and managed to catch part of the Remembrance Day ceremony by the Old City Hall cenotaph. Here are a selection of shots that I took while there.

Was downtown in the afternoon, and I since I had my telephoto with me I shot this pic of Toronto’s Old City Hall clock face.

Went to the Wold’s Biggest Bookstore downtown in order to pick up the fourth “Thursday Next” novel by Jasper Fforde, and then walked down Bay Street to Queen Street in order to catch a streetcar home, and passed by both Old and New Toronto City Hall in the process. So I took out the camera and took some pics, mainly of Old City Hall.

The building was bathed in that wonderful warm glow of an summer evening sun, adding contrast and picking out colour in the old stone. Here are the pictures:
