This abstract image is the corner of a building. Floors 5-10 I think.
BTW, did the description make the image any better?
The prettiest street in my hometown. In the backyard of this home is the Detroit River, where you can watch boats from jet-skis to freighters go by. If you walk one block west, you're downtown and get to choose from a lot of different restaurants and shops.
These photos were taken during my biking tour on July 12, 2007. I rode from Toronto ’s east end through the Don Valley , underneath the famous Bloor Viaduct Bridge , into the downtown east side of Toronto . I briefly stopped at the Distillery District, Toronto ’s award-winning heritage and entertainment district that encompasses 44 restored Victorian industrial buildings that have been restored into restaurants, cafés, galleries, unique retail stores and even a theatre (here is a link to an interview with one of the owners of the Distillery District: www.travelandtransitions.com/interviews/distillery_distri.... From there I rode to the foot of Bay Street where I caught a ferry to the Toronto Islands , a beautiful quiet and green sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto . After a brief exploration of the residential areas on Wards Island and Algonquin Island I headed back to the mainland where I got caught in a huge thunderstorm and had to ride home for about 50 minutes in the pouring rain. But even getting caught in the rain was fun. All I was hoping was not to get struck by lightning.
The clips from this biking trip are part of my “Toronto Favourites” series and many more of these discoveries are to come. I am actually a travel writer, and whenever I am not out of town, I write about the city that I live in: Toronto , a city that has many cool places. I love to get out and explore the city and discover some new cool spots, and now you can enjoy them with me.

A cable-stayed truss bridge, most of the weight of the bridge is supported by this single 100 m tall tower that is designed to lean out over the river because the opposite shore offered poor weight support.

"The King George V Colonnade, Bexhill-on-Sea, was built in 1911 to celebrate the coronation of the new king. I like its monumental presence along the seafront, with its white domes and classical styling, and its juxtaposition with the modernist lines of the adjacent 1930s art deco De La Warr Pavilion, whose stairs and angular railings flow down onto the promenade beside it.

Giardini della Villa Comunale (or Giardino Trevelyan and the Parco Duchi di Cesarò), is a public park that is a pretty and peaceful spot. An English-style garden, it was designed by Florence Trevelyan, who lived in Taormina at the end of the nineteenth century. A panoramic walkway lined with benches faces the view over the sea and Etna, while flower-beds, lawns, hedges, trees and bushes spread over the large terrace. There are several fascinating follies to admire, including cottages and towers, as well as a collection of caged birds, some old artillery, a children's play area and a bar (the latter two are not always open).
Florence Trevelyan arrived to Taormina in 1884 and in 1890 she married Doctor Salvatore Cacciola, a well-known resident of Taormina and for many years its mayor, and moved into the town. There she acquired several parcels of land on the steep hillside below the via Bagnoli Croce and embarked on the creation of another garden, calling it “Hallington Siculo” (Sicilian Hallington). This was a private, shaded, pleasure garden from which there are views of both the sea and Mt. Etna. Again she imported non-native plants, but the garden is most noteworthy for the extraordinary buildings constructed from different kinds of stone, cloth, brick, pipes and other architectural salvage.
The area was given to Taormina after Florence's death and is now part of a much larger municipal park.
