railway that is running through my home town Comanesti. It connects Moldova to Transilvania from Adjud to Miecurea Ciuc.
Organized by Scott Torrance Landscape Architect with the help of volunteers, seeds were collected from existing plants on the trail In October 2006. This native seed bank will be grown as plugs in a nursery and re-established on the site after completion of the trail. These plants, some rare, would have been destroyed during construction of the trail. Indigenous seed bank material maintains the unique gene pool of local plant material. Replanting and maintenance can be assisted by local community members, student and trail stakeholders.
Seed collected:
Overlooked dropseed
Prairie cordgrass
American bittersweet
Braken fern
Smooth rose
Spreading Dogbane
Choke Cherry
Virgin’s Bower
Common Evening-Primrose
Grass Leaved Goldenrod
Heavy Panic Grass
Grape-woodbine
Common Milkweed

A new guardrail provides a safe crossing on the Dupont and Bloor overpasses. Small widenings allow users to pull off the main trail and enjoy the view from these historic railway bridges. The late summer bronze colour of native low prairie grass provides a visual link to the red clay brick of the unique homes and buildings (such as the Viceroy) along the trail between Dupont and Bloor, while providing dynamic texture throughout the seasons. Steel signs indicate the street names and user position along the multi-use trail.
Planting palette: Little Bluestem grass, Virginia Creeper vine
Signage: oxidized steel
Guardrail: galvanized steel
Lighting: City of Toronto standard ‘acorn’ fixture

The trail south if Bloor West winds through a mix of open and shady areas among John Dickson’s artwork, “Frontier” (not shown). The naturalized planting of primarily white and silver foliage provide a unique identity to the trail between Bloor and Dundas West.
Planting palette: Red and silver maples, red oak and cottonwoods; a specimen burr oak with a mix of white native wildflowers and grasses.
Multi-use trail width: 3500mm wide asphalt with a 600mm wide granular shoulder each side.

One of Anser's graffiti faces, painted on a sculpture along the West Toronto Railpath, just south of Bloor St. Photo taken on August 4 2012, and the piece has apparently been removed recently after being there for a surprisingly long time.
Because of work and some other demands, I've been trying to give my photos a little more depth a la Photoshop. I refrained from touching the damn program for a long, long time, but after speaking to a lot of working photographers and seeing their before and afters, my attitude began to change...
I mean, really! It's incredible what less than 2 minutes of marginal tweaking can do to a particularly drab photo.
Interesting.
