Exchange: Photos 1

2012-03-26 08:03

So I know that this is well overdue, but here are some photos I have taken around Toronto. The camera I’m using is the one on my phone, so the quality is not great (though I was impressed with its ability to take night photos, since it’s a phone and all).

U of T

Photos from both the downtown and Scarborough campuses of U of T.

CN Tower behind some buildings at U of T's downtown campus. Also there is snow.

This was the first snow I ever saw (not counting snow seen from a plane). Also, this is the view from my window. (I live on residence which is why this is in the U of T section of photos.)

This is a scenic walkway at U of T's downtown campus. I think it's called Philosopher's Walk.

These are some trees at the Scarborough campus of U of T. I remember thinking "hey the trees look kinda neat with snow on them..." while onlookers were all like "why is that guy taking photos of the trees?".

Royal Ontario Museam and Downtown Toronto

I decided to go to the ROM, and figured it would be a good time to do some exploring.

This is the ROM. It's a very impressive building.

This is a corkscrew-shaped tunnel made by an ancient beaver. It's a clever way to dig; you can easily climb out, and won't fall into lava if the block below you has lava under it.

While I was in Canada, I saw a moose. But seriously, this is the only moose I have seen so far.

Lake Ontario. It was getting dark, but my phone camera has a reasonable night mode.

Ice skating rink at Nathan Phillips Square. I ended up making a spur of the moment decision to go ice skating here.

Skiing

These photos were taken at the Dagmar Ski Resort.

You can't really tell from the photo, but that side of the hill is really steep.

...and that's all for now

This is the busy part of semester, so photos will be less frequent for the next few weeks. After that, I’ll be becoming a full blown tourist and travelling around Canada and probably the USA, so there will be lots of photos.
