Abandonments

A blog that I began following this year is BlogTO. It's a mix of everything urban from the Little Apple - from food to art to urban politics.

I have to give a shout out to the latest post contributed by Jonathan Castellino called  Recalling A Year of Abandonments with some incredible and haunting photos of abandoned buildings he took this year in Toronto and region.

I thought I would share a few of my abandoned shots as well. Nothing as grand as Castellino's but some interesting places. (For the record, I gained access to these buildings by invite or because they were open during an event. I do not gain entry by breaking and entering or otherwise causing damage to the building).

  1. Wow -- the streetcar and the theatre shots are especially creepy! They remind me of underwater shots of the Titanic. Very ghostly. (Any evocation of children will tend to add to that.)
