The Madina Mosque on the Danforth is adding a dome. A larger dome next to the minaret at the east end is also planned.
This pic is everything I like about gradients. Maybe the only upside of smog.

This church was originally built in 1910, and opened in April 1911. It's a strong contrast to the rest of the buildings in the area, providing an example of the way that things were when the church was built, over a century ago. When this church started, the area was mostly rural - it was farm country at that point, and the area was mostly populated with immigrants from Britain. The architecture of the church reflects that even today - it is a small, wood framed, country church on one of the busier streets in a city of almost 3 million people.
I have to admit, seeing this Mennonite church in the middle of a bustling city street kind of threw me. When I hear "Mennonite", I think of buggy riding, technology rejecting, self sufficient people that want to live simply. I don't associate it with cars, or city living, or (if you zoom in on the upper right window) Apple computers and other high tech items. So seeing this church, and researching it, has been eye opening for me. According to the website (danforthmennonitechurch.ca), "Toronto’s Danforth Mennonite Church welcomes Mennonites and Christians of all denominations to worship with us; and we welcome any visitors who may wonder where we hitch the horses and buggies. (We drive cars, ride bicycles, take transit or walk to church)." So, apparently, my understanding of Mennonites was, at the very least, incomplete while not being unusual. I'm glad that I spotted this, and that I've learned about this church, and this congregation.
Danforth Brook is a moderate stream found completely within the town of Hardwick, Massachusetts. Originating in the large Spruce-Tamarack bog known locally as the Great Swamp (the same origin as Muddy Brook which flows from the other half of the bog's divide), Danforth Brook flows south, bisecting Hardwick through its longitudinal center. The flow is alternate in long stretches, encompassing dark, stony runs through hemlock hollows, followed by stretches through large expanses of wet meadows, especially around Hardwick Center.
Ecologically, Danforth Brook is a locally important waterway: as much for its supporting habitat as for its actual riparian element. The waterway supports a nice native brook trout population (very small individuals), as well as a small population of state-listed herptofauna, but the brook is perhaps best known for its supporting landscapes, especially the large marsh/wet meadow complex of Pine Island in the center of town. Pine Island is the largest in a series of emergent marshes and wet meadows along the stream's course, and most of these wetlands host a suite of breeding marshbirds; some species being quite rare.
Danforth Brook terminates where it flows into the Ware River in the village of Gilbertville.

Reconstruction work is underway at 1294 Danforth after a fire last year. The old signage has been torn off the front, revealing a rather amazing layer of old pigeon shit. And an A&W root beer can.
Excerpt from Explore East York East End:
The Danforth Baptist Church was founded in 1884 and opened its doors to a congregation just before the First World War. Today, it is known as the Danforth Church and is an important part of the community. The church is a trans-denominational, alternative, progressive, Evangelical, LGBTQ-affirming community church that values social justice, contemporary worship and expression through art.
The building houses a painting, gifted in 1919 by nationally renowned local artist Owen Staples, which commemorates Canada’s fallen soldiers of the First World War. The large-scale painting depicts a soldier kneeling in a field of poppies looking towards an image of Jesus, with the inscription, “Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Poppies are included in the frame and between the names of congregation members who died in the First and Second World Wars.

Out with @benhazzard @kimmcgill @scomitch and @jennidonohoo ... I really wish I had a better camera.
