Sunday Afternoon, Toronto Island
A beautiful Fall afternoon on Toronto Island. Ramshackle houses, yards full of unwanted junk, falling leaves, and deserted beaches. A cyclist’s and walker’s paradise.
Many of the houses on the Island are pretty basic but artistically adorned. This one’s shack is festively decorated with a universal pagan symbol.
This home struck us as the most modern and architecturally advanced on Centre Island. The view of the city skyline must be spectacular.
This seemed to be like a little Freecycle station: islanders appear to use this open air closet to get rid of unwanted junk.
The ‘parking lot’ outside the Rectory Café.
Footprints in the sand.
The Island seems to suffer from a high density of cast-off things stored in people’s yards. Here: a still life with Fender Rhodes. Fetching.
The Lake Ontario waves on a windy day.
Bicycles parked at the ferry dock, on our way back to Toronto.
