Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

Thought it was time for an update to this one.

There so many things I like about this photo. You have tastefully colourful buildings framing the public realm. You have a regional rail station with a broad main platform, an interesting station structure, and multiple platforms. There are lush mature trees. It looks mature and metropolitan, even though a lot of what you can see is relatively new.

Hello ElJay,

Watermarked/missing pictures: sometime in 2017 posters here no longer needed to host pictures at sites like Photobucket.

Good for Urban Toronto to upgrade the user experience for the folks here.

When I used Photobucket back in the day it was free, then they went to a paid model. I still get emails from them offering to remove watermarks at a cost of about $400USD annually. I suppose it's not that much money but subscription services sometimes start low and keep going up; so I am on the fence about committing to that.

Thanks Mustapha. If you ever feel like doing a crowd sourcing venture to get the watermarks removed I'd be happy to contribute to the $400 USD fee. The photos could then be uploaded to the UT servers and the egregiously overpriced Photobucket account could be cancelled. That's robbery!

Boy that lighting really does give off a dungeon look.
