Another exterior shot of Ontario Redi-Mix on Wade Ave. This is the view from Erwin Krickhahn Park on Rankin Cres. in the Junction Triangle.

It will be interesting to see if this place gets re-used (doubt it), pillaged and vandalized (probably), and eventually torn down to be replaced with something better (probably, but who knows when?).

Looking down from the upper level of the vacant Ontario Redi-Mix plant on Wade Ave. There's a decent view of the surrounding area up here: The Redi-Mix gravel yard, GO Transit's Barrie Line tracks, and over into Erwin Krickhahn Park in the Junction Triangle. Probably an even better view from up on the silos. :)

I was taking a photo of this sign at the vacant Ontario Redi-Mix plant on Wade Ave., when a fellow explorer/photographer walked into the frame. I actually like this photo much better than the one I was trying to take.

The gravel yard at Ontario Redi-Mix on Wade Ave., near Bloor and Lansdowne. The shovels remain where the former employees left them at the end of their final shift.

Exploring the vacant Ontario Redi-Mix concrete facility on Wade Ave., near Bloor and Lansdowne. Much of the site is completely encrusted with many years worth of concrete dust, often settling into really interesting patterns and shapes, especially under the silos where the concrete was pumped into cement trucks for delivery.

Drumming group Pound For Pound performing at Perth Square Park in the Junction Triangle, July 25 2010.

This was part of a Sunday picnic series in the local parks, with music organized by the Junction Triangle Rail Committee to help bring awareness to the rail expansion projects in our neighbourhood.

The rest of my photos from this picnic and performance are here.

The Bloordale Pantry's pancake eating contest during the New Bloor Festival, Saturday July 24 2010.

I caught this round of the contest after grabbing some lunch / escaping the rain at the Bloordale Pantry. After lunch, the rain went away for long enough to have this round of the contest so I watched it all go down. The crowd was cheering, syrup was spilled, kids were stuffing their faces...all in good fun. I'm surprised nobody puked. :-) The kid in blue ended up winning this round.

A short while later, I saw him eating more pancackes. A true champion who loves his sport.

Looking into the window of the Toronto Free Gallery (currently the "Change" exhibit) during the New Bloor Festival on Saturday.

Out for a walk on King St., between Niagara and Bathurst. Saw this extension cord running between two commercial buildings.

A father and son (no, not me yet!) stroll past the new mural that's going up on the south side of Bloor St., between Perth Ave. and Dundas St. West. This new tree mural certainly helps brighten up this railway underpass, and is a nice complement to the Railpath up above.

More photos here and over at the Junction Triangle website.
