Toronto 2010

Rena and I spent a week visiting Toronto in March 2010. The photos in this gallery consist of buildings, architecture, and museum scenes which is a major departure from my usual photography subjects. We found Toronto to be a fun place to visit. Walking around the city seeing the different neighborhoods was our main activity. We stayed in a B&B and used the excellent public transportation system for everything including to and from the airport. Ethnic restaurants abound. We ate Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mid-Eastern, Japanese, and Indian food during the week.

Kensington Market, near Chinatown, is a fun place to explore

Modern front of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). This new addition was recently added to the traditional museum building and has caused lots of controversy. The museum is first class, and is considered to be one of the best in Canada.

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is also first class
AGO also has had a modern facelift but it works better than in the ROM. The woodwork was designed by Frank Gehry.
