The Beaches (or The Beach)


Came across this interesting house today after a photo trip to take pictures of ice formations along Lake Ontario. It was a little cold... I'm not sure how this image was put together (what materials were used). If you look really close you can find a little CNTower. It reminds you of the beach only a short walk away and the famous Japanese artist Hokusai.



On the same street some homes are being torn down to make room for a new development. Seems a shame to tear down houses that add character to the neighbourhood. Most of them look in all right condition or at least could be. But design marches on and that includes urban design for a city that gets more and more congested with less space for housing. And this is one of the most sought-after areas in which to live in T.O.
