Toronto from the green side

[brightknightie]

I recently came across a beautiful photograph of Toronto from the green side and wanted to share it with you. It's by a Jason Van Bruggen, who is apparently an activist for the promotion and protection of Toronto's glacial ravine system. As he notes, "over 30" of NYC's Central Park would fit into Toronto's ravines. Someone else called Toronto, topologically, "upside-down San Francisco" (for TO's ravines to SF's hills).

Toronto's ravine system even has a Wikipedia page! Who knew? Okay, yes, those of you who live there... :-)

Wow! I didn't know the TO environs was so beautiful! It definitely doesn't look like 5.6 million people live in that area to my eyes.

Then again, the closest city to me is NYC, which I've heard way too many horror stories about.

I'm a small town girl, so take all the above with a grain of salt.

The photo has really got me thinking about the city in a wider scope! FK stayed so very urban most of the time, and so much of my exposure to Toronto is repeated viewings of FK.

I stumbled across it thanks to Skieswideopen mentioning the ravines to me.
