Canada, Ontario. The Golden Horseshoe and arounds.

Some names. Southern Ontario, GTA. I choose The Golden Horseshoe. It is kind of Ontario which not too far up North. But you never know...

This one is close to home:

I have some pictures of oldest and largest streetcars museum in Canada. But it just keeps on keeping close to home.

Stacy is local town born from Russian parents. Sofya came recently to next to our house. She is Ukrainian refugee with her mother at her sister's home...

Both are good on painting...

Kensington Market in Toronto. I was going to buy some food, and stopped to take a picture of a display of hats for sale. When this couple passed by in front of me, I lowered my camera. My hearing’s not so good, so I thought he was saying don’t take my picture, and I said I wasn’t. But he said don’t you want to take my picture, and I said sure. As for the picture of the hats; I took a couple of shots but they are not worth posting. Happy Pedestrian Sunday is Back by sevres babylone, on Flickr

There's an excellent photographer in the GTA who I discovered on Instagram by the name of Dave Green. He's been shooting for a long time, mostly with a Leica and black and white film. He has a very good photo book out that I picked up earlier this month called Personal. I think it's up your alley, Kostya. The pictures stretch from the early 1980s to the 2010s, covering the Toronto and NYC punk scenes, rural landscapes taken on motorcycle trips across North America and Europe, scenes of his ex-wife and daughter growing up and growing old, working class GTA bars and diners that are largely gone now. Looks like most of the pictures were shot with a 50mm lens. The book is well-priced too.

Thank you for info. I spent sometime yesterday on his site.

I admire our sevres babylone, more than anyone else for Toronto live and alive not just for profit venues.

In my early age during Soviet I was asked if I'm punk... They just didn't know the new wave

Before COVID I meet Mircea Popescu. I know him at previous job for years, but he was able to set his own photo company. after it
We met at Downtown camera, just both came to visit.
He let me in in his studio and showed his work. It was impressive to see it in real. Very big prints, he have to trade his Canons to FujiFilm dMF to keep up with clients demand for high quality large prints.

Largest street cars museum in Canada.

To me it translates as the only one...
It is based on last few meters of railway from Toronto to Guelph.
Lovely people, nice place. Before C19, they had pre Christmas runs, where you board and sing Christmas songs while streetcar is going.
From our first visit in summer time:

Gate-crashers at Woodbine Beach, Toronto.

Went to leash free park for first time. It was so lamely canuckistanian. No signs where it ends. Even before you hit major road.
But we used it wisely.

Canuckistan vs Canada. We went for historical walk. Local historical society (few dozens of members ) takes PayPal for membership. It takes no time to become as member.
Canadian conservative party wants cheque or CC payment which takes 6-8 week to process (tens of thousands members).
