Continuing our tour along Oriland... and visiting TOY-RONTO Kingdom as it was shown at Canadian National Exhibition the other year. And here you may see Origami Toy-ronto's majestic Old City Hall Castle along with the CN Tower and much more!
TOY-RONTO is our whimsical vision of Toronto created in origami. It features notable Toronto landmarks, including CN Tower, Old City Hall, New City Hall, Harbourfront , the Princes' Gates etc. We used more than 10,000 pieces of paper to create this without gluing or cutting.
More images of TOY-RONTO can be seen as a slideshow on Oriland site at
I sat an hour at the harbourfront in Hamburg and sketched. It was pretty loud, because everyone was working, even at the Elbphilharmonie!

Taken earlier this summer. I'm gonna be posting a bunch of older stuff, haven't been too inspired lately.

I've shot the pink umbrellas over at Sugar Beach in Toronto before - these ones contrast the sky so well I just had to grab a shot of them.
Been a while. I need to get back to shooting with my Nikon and give my iPhone a rest. And yes, I know, my framing is a bit off with this shot.
Took this shot on a walk along the frozen Toronto harbourfront Sunday. I think I was drawn to all the repeating lines and patterns... looks like everything is waiting for Spring. This was before the arctic temperatures of today. It's currently -18C... with a high of -17C. Hope my friends are staying safe and warm.

Odd that the best quality print was of the livery that I most disliked. Applied to some of the PCCs when the new Harbourfront line opened, they reflected the colours then applied to new vehicles, but I thought were quite inappropriate. I have never liked the fad of black window surrounds.
That pale blue coat on the gent on the left of the image is odd too: perhaps he was a doorman of one of the downtown hotels?
