A revisit to the Magnificent East Toronto ruins and Bluffs.

O.K. guys, I was going through my picture files and came across my old pics from the Scarborough Bluffs and Guildwood Park. So I thought I would post them. Enjoy.

I think the Guild and the Bluffs are such a magnificent natural area, and culture(in terms of the Guild) that is not given enough attention in Toronto. Enjoy this looks.

Click on this link for nice music to go with the pics.

SCARBOROUGH BLUFFS
The pictures below are from a hike Jenn and I took from Bluffers Park to the Beaches area of Toronto at the base of the Scarborough Bluffs.

Yes we hiked all the way from the Bluffs in the distance to The Beaches near downtown Toronto.

GUILDWOOD PARK

st. augustines has to be one of the most underrated buildings in the city. i grew up in that neighbourhood, and i didn't really start to appreciate that dome until i moved away
