as I walk Toronto

If you walk east on Bloor from Dundas West, you will encounter a railway bridge.

Like every summer, the end of August means that it’s time for the Canadian National Exhibition, the CNE.

… another walk down Graffiti Alley below: Part of a monochrome mural by Nicolas Araneda aka niko.volts that has a lot of very American feet walking all over the faces of other people as lay on the ground….

On a recent wander through the Art Gallery of Ontario I encountered a few ‘people’.

Two very different men born in different times and in different places… who happen to take pictures.

All of the pictures in this post were taken on Dundas East, just west of Jones Avenue.

A look at another intersection (and its surroundings)……. below: Swimming by the 401 highway – You might recognize this image as Georges Pierre Seurat’s 1884 pointillism painting, “Bathers at Asnières”.

There are two large murals by Nick Sweetman that cover both sides of Bathurst street as it passes under the 401 highway.

A walk down Coxwell Avenue with a few diversions along the way….. below: Part of larger mural painted by Al Runt that covers most of the exterior of a building on Gerrard near Coxwell.
