Things from a Bike Ride

Clockwise from top left:july 4 2009

– The Humber Bay Arch Bridge, it’s here and can be seen from the Gardiner

– the view of the city from said bridge

– that’s the new ‘Canadian Explorer Headquarters’ if I ever saw one.  The beach is just metres from the turret, the orange must go immediately, and I can’t find anything about this place… I’d bet it’s heritage… anyone?

– That’s the central archway of the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion, opened in 1922.  The pool to the left of the Pavilion, nickname “The Tank”, was built in 1924 for when it was too cold to swim in the lake, and was at that time, the largest outdoor swimming pool in the world
