Description

This is one of the patios in Toronto in an area called the Distillery District ..I thought I would make it in this tone since its such an old area ..they have the most incredible CHOCOLATE boutique there called Soma ..mmmmm... the chocolate is unbelievely good!!! Founded in 1832 by Brothers-in-law William Gooderham and James Worts, the Gooderham and Worts Distillery eventually became the largest distillery in the British empire. Set on 13 acres in downtown Toronto, the forty plus buildings constitute the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian Industrial Architecture in North America. The Distillery District is a national historic site. In just the past few years, The Distillery District has become one of the most romantic and enjoyable destinations in the City. The Distillery District is Torontos first pedestrian only village and the city only historic district. From the brick lined streets to the European piazza styled areas.. Like Soho in the 1960, The Distillery District has become an area associated with creative thinking and expression. The areas rebirth has been dedicated to promoting arts, culture and entertainment. Over the past few years this new landmark facility has attracted the best of the best, including internationally acclaimed galleries, artists from all corners of the arts spectrum, theatres, restaurants, cafes and boutique retailers thank you for your previous comments !

It sounds like a photographers paradise Lu, it seems they are going that way with a lot of the older districts here as well, the trend of the future, but at least they get preserved for many years to come for many to enjoy! nice photograph.
