This is this alley’s second appearance. It is to the right of this house.

Just back from a 2 week visit to Italy. Taking photos in Italy is a strange experience. The country is full of postcard views and every photo looks like a cliche. I took many, and it will be a while before I look at them all, but I will share the ones that I like. This one, though not in chronological order, is from a half day spent in the beautiful town of Siena.

It’s only been a few weeks but it seems like a decade ago.

The best lunch special in Toronto. Soup and a main course (choose one of two soups to start plus one of five main dishes - Beef, green beans, shrimp, mixed vegetables or chicken) with steamed or egg fried rice plus tea for $6 per person. Ask for hot sauce (chilies & oil) on the side.

This was taken about 24 hours after the fire that destroyed a city block on Queen street in February 2008. The word Video is all that’s left of my friend’s video rental shop. To the right of this shot are the rubble remains of a 3 story building that housed a family business, Duke’s Cycle Bike shop, for over 50 years. Incredibly, no one was hurt in the fire but about 60 people lost their homes or businesses.
