^ I think so. I'll post detailed photos.

Apart from that, today I've "captured" a Google car:

I always wondered where the street views came from.

Google cars are awesome. One drove past my house roughly 6months ago.

These are some pictures I've taken over the years at Don Valley Brick Works, an old brick quarry in Toronto and now a park. The Brick Works was in operation for over 100 years, and is responsible for supplying the bricks for several important landmarks in the city. This park holds so many memories for me as a kid as it is not far from where I grew up. Please excuse my lack of photography skills.

The main building and smokestack:

A quarry pit converted into a marshy area:

I have no idea what this is but it's between the two main buildings:

I can't remember where this is exactly, I think it's the entrance to the park:

Boardwalk paths over a swamp pit, looking towards the buildings:

Just a slice of Toronto that a lot of tourists don't get to see, unfortunately.

Toronto is a beautiful city. I grew down the road in Buffalo. Even though I hate the Maple Leafs, Toronto is in my top 3 foreign cities.

Although I can drive to Buffalo within 3-4 hours, I've only been there maybe 3 or 4 times in my life. For a short time there was also a ferry between Toronto and Rochester, and I was on it once. They don't have it anymore because it cost too much money.

And for the record, I'm not the biggest Leafs fan either. The team looks promising for next season, but I sort of lost faith in them after they failed to make it into the playoffs for a few years in a row.
