Big Lego

Monday 10th June 2024, 10.15am (day 4,673)

Yonge St building site, 10/6/24

Toronto, like all cities, is unable to stop building and rebuilding itself. This particular site resides on Yonge Street. It’s nice to get the perpendiculars straight; something more achievable with an elevated vantage point, viz, my hotel room balcony, twenty floors up. And it does look like a big Lego set.

The new town hall

Wednesday 29th February 2012, 8.30am (day 188)

New town hall, 29/2/12Would have been nice to have somehow encapsulated, in a photo, the fact that today was the extra day of the Leap Year. But that proved beyond me, though it did amuse me that Joe was annoyed because this year he has to wait another day for his birthday (which is on Sunday).

So here is a picture of the building site that is Hebden Bridge’s new town hall; the scaffolding and cranes of which have been visible from our house for a few months now. A time-lapse project would have been nice – but too late now.

The Mac’s still in the shop so apologies for the erratic appearance of the posts at the moment.
