"Freedom Arches
The Citizens of Toronto dedicate these arches to the
millions who struggled including Canadians, to gain
and defend freedom and to the tens of millions who
suffered and died for the lack of it. May all that we do
be worthy of them. Only in freedom can the Human Spirit soar.
Against the human drive for freedom nothing can long succeed. This plaque is mounted on a slab of the Berlin Wall."
It's fun to see people are having fun on Nathan Phillips Square. Our Iconic 3D Toronto sign is still a big attraction, and as of 2017 there is an addition - a 3D Maple Leaf to mark 150th anniversary Canada is celebrating this year.
Continuing my Toy-ronto Life series...
Happy Miniature Sunday! :-)
Keep on transmitting all that fun happening in Toy-ronto with PanAm Games on Nathan Phillips Square :-)
This 3D TORONTO sign installed for the Games has become instantly iconic! It feels like the sign is emanating so much positive energy - you may see that lots of people have been posing in front of and inside the sign and having so much fun.
It's immensely popular with the visitors and locals alike.
Be posting more of it for sure too :-) More Toy-ronto's Panamania fun is coming - Stay tuned / Bientot a l'ecran!

Happy Panda Monday, Flickr friends!
That's our giant Origami Pandas while having fun at the new (temporary) location of 3D Toronto sign at Nathan Philips Square :-)
Now people are taking selfies not only with the sign, but with the paper pandas too :-)
Have a pandastic week ahead!
* Of course, this is a composite I did for fun, but we can fold ori-pandas that big for sure, provided we have appropriate paper to work with :-)
** To origami enthusiasts:
Diagrams of Panda designs are brought to you by 'Origami Panda Family' book. Happy folding!
Continuing my 'Toy-ronto Life' and 'Little Planets' series...
Our Iconic 3D Toronto sign had been temporarily relocated for the Para PanAm Games Closing Ceremony, but is still on Nathan Phillips Square, making our Old City Hall look fancy now.
Can't resist casting some globular & texture magic :-)

Toronto, a city where diversity is our strength.
During Nuit Blanche, anyone can have their portraits taken at the photo booth for free, and have their photo glued to the famous 3D Toronto sign or in a circular pattern in front of the Toronto City Hall. These faces truly reflect the people in the city who came from different countries with different cultural backgrounds, coming together for a traditional annual event that unites all of us as one.
Seems like a lifetime ago, that we went to Toronto for a Pre-anniversary celebration. In actuality, it was back in April, I think. B&W felt good for this, just to bring out some big city grittiness.
One of three photos taken of the 3D Toronto sign in Nathan Phillips Square today.
