Toronto Island Ferry to Centre Island where I took yesterday's photo back in Sept 2019…I miss going to the island for good outdoor times in the Toronto summer. Here's hoping this year we can again! • • • • • • #lakeontario #lovetdot #TorontoPhoto #SeeTorontoNow #boats #6ixwalks #blogto #dailyhiveto #Torontoclx #torontoontario #googlepixel #transportation #symmetry #centreisland #nowtoronto #Canada #ontario #islandferry #dailyphoto # #torontoislands #pier #ship #symmetrical #ferry #streetsoftoronto #clickcity #createcommune #boatlife #islandlife (at Toronto Island Ferry Dock) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNoTPe0BffW/?igshid=1vaw4wd1j85r1

Today and last night was Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day which in its full name is Yom Hazikaron laShoah ve-laG'vurah (Hebrew: יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה‎) which translates to 'Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day'). As such, I thought it fitting to share this picture I took at the entrance into Canada's National Holocaust Monument in the nation's capital, Ottawa when I was there back in July 2019. It's a day that has more and more meaning to me with each passing year as I've seen the rise of casual anti-Semitism and its acceptance here in North America. If one had told me in the 1980s and 1990s that the climate in the world towards the Jewish people would be what it is I would have been unable to believe it. As far as I was concerned, I was as Canadian & American as any other kid. I've encountered hate myself directly since then more times than I'd like to remember and more blatantly as the years have progressed. This past Feb would have been my grandfather's 100th birthday. He was a Jewish partisan during WWII, living in the forests & fighting Nazis whenever they could. I remember I once asked him - hoping I'd hear a badass, heroic story - if the Jewish partisans did a lot of coordinated operations against the Nazis with the Polish partisans & he looked me directly in the eyes for a second & said "Nah!" with a dismissive shake of his head & a disgusted expression. I think he would've spat if we hadn't been sitting indoors. That was the level of animosity against Jews during WWII where countries that were overrun by one of the most evil regimes ever known had people fighting the evil who couldn't put their hate of the Jews aside to kick the murderous black shirted hordes out. Sickening. I never understood it. It seemed so idiotic. But with each passing year, I'm understanding it more and more unfortunately. Never Again isn't just a catch phrase. We have to ensure it is a reality every day of every year or evil will rise again. This is also why Jews need our own state where we are always safe & accepted. Had we had one in the 1930s, 6 MILLION PEOPLE including my great aunts, uncles, and grandparents wouldn't have disappeared into a train.

🌴🌴🌴 Palm Trees swaying in tbe cool tropical breeze on the beach shores of a great ocean 🌴🌴🌴 I took this photo on my Nokia N80 back in February 2007. It was a Symbian OS smartphone before the iPhone and subsequently Android redefined the term. It also had a lens crafted by Carl Zeiss Optics for "high detailed imaging" (relatively speaking) captured with its then cutting edge 3 megapixel camera. I was on a random road trip down through the Florida Keys with my buddy @jblustienne. We were on a mission that day to try multiple delicious key lime pies at the side of the road in the Florida Keys. That and just the enjoyment of seeing the beauty and majesty of nature in tropical paradise along the Atlantic coast. It was a good day. I hope you got out to enjoy the sunshine today if the day was as sunny and warm where you are as it was in Toronto today. I hope you're in general having a great long weekend too! See you right here tomorrow! 😀 • • • • • • #beachphotography #landscapelovers #beachview #beachlove #shoreline #beachvibes #visualmobs #floridakeys #clickcity #citykillerz #palmtrees🌴 #jaw_dropping_shotz #florida #all2epic #placesoftheworld #flkeys #VisitTheUSA #southflorida #miami #LoveFL #traveltheworldwithme #atlanticocean #urbanromantix #floridalife #nokia #carlzeiss #palmtrees #travelgram #wanderlust #eclectic_shotz (at Florida Keys) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNRCRNQBvLl/?igshid=1pekiu4s1fmfz

Seeing "This Seat's Taken" Symmetry on an empty TTC LRT makes me think of that early scene in that Tom Hanks movie from the 90s…although then it was kids being mean to another kid cuz he was different not bright yellow signage proclaiming government mandated physical distancing restrictions I took this photo on my @madebygoogle @googlepixel Google Pixel 2 XL in January 2021 one night as I rode the TTC's 509 Harbourfront streetcar LRT Loving the feedback and support I'm getting from people in the comments, in real life, and in the DMs. I want to give a humongous THANK YOU to everyone for the continued encouragement. Feels great to have kept this up for 155 Days!!! If you use the Google Camera for Android app (stock on Pixels) have you noticed how they've added a level for the X, Y, & Z axes into the viewfinder? I dunno if it's turned on by default because it just started appearing one day for me but I do know that personally I'm LOVING it & finding it so very useful for lining up shots!!! As always every 🔖, every 💬, every 🔃, & every ♥️ is appreciated immensely 🙏🏼😀. How else am I going to get blessed by the algorithm? 😭 • • • • • • #SeeTorontoNow #tdot #exploreON #ExploreCanada #TorontoCanada #ImagesOfToronto #Way2ill #subway #CityBestPics #clickcity #TheLast6 #VisualVoiceMag #harbourfront #streetcar #Torontoclx #Canada #torontotransit #transit #TTC #6ixwalks #symmetrykillers #symmetry #symmetrical #Symmetryhunters #Symmetryaddicted #Toronto #symmetricalmonsters #LRT #TTCzone #lovetoronto (at TTC 509 Harbourfront Streetcar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CND1fPxhC3s/?igshid=1v42g7u7rejw3

Seen through the window, the Scarborough RT S Series SRT Symmetry on the TTC's Line 3 Toronto's TTC have recently recommended the 2023 retirement of these cars & the existing Line 3 after they have been rolling along since the 1980s. I took some photos inside them back in October 2020 when I was out that way collecting some paper transfers before they too get retired (yes, I'm a huge nerd 🤓). As promised yesterday, a different look at the same car. Still symmetrical but .... different. I like how both photos turned out so wanted to make them a pair/set next to each other in my feed. I cropped this one differently a bit, not quite square and not its original 16:9 either. • • • • • • #SeeTorontoNow #cityoftoronto #ImagesOfToronto #The6 #Way2ill #subway #CityBestPics #CityExplore #TheLast6 #VisualVoiceMag #TTCzone #justgoshoot #Torontoclx #Canada #torontotransit #transit #Line3 #TTC #6ixwalks #earthpix #symmetry #symmetrical #Symmetryhunters #n8zine #eclectic_shotz #Scarborough #Toronto #thetorontolove #lovetoronto #lovetdot (at Scarborough RT) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBUKnph4ja/?igshid=pln0x109qbni

Memories of Toronto. Specifically, the TTC streetcar, aka the CLRV pictured here. The Canadian Light Rail Vehicle (CLRV) was the standard sight to see in the streets of Toronto for my entire life's memory until recently. From the 1980s through November 2017 when I took this photo one night until right before the COVID19 pandemic when they were all decommissioned by the TTC on December 29, 2019 these were super common sights in the streets of Toronto. It's sort of strange that I haven't really noticed their absence but then again who has really been doing much traveling anywhere in the city since March 2020? Day 151! That's how many days in a row I've been posting to my Instagram! Every ❤, every 💬, & every 🔃 is appreciated immensely 🙏🏼😀 • • • • • • #SeeTorontoNow #streetcapture #exploreON #ExploreCanada #TorontoCanada #streetphotographyinternational #streetcar #FarTooDope #Way2ill #shoot2kill #CityBestPics #CityExplore #TheLast6 #VisualVoiceMag #transit #justgoshoot #shotaward #TTCzone #MadeByGoogle #nightphotography #TeamPixel #downtowntoronto #TTC #6ixwalks #CLRV #EatonCentre #queenstreet #thetorontolove #lovetoronto #lovetdot (at Downtown Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM6FdEuBfF_/?igshid=ht7qn330b459

Express Underside Symmetry for my 150th post in a row!!!! (at North York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3XLvQB8Wn/?igshid=yyeb0z65zl1h

Queen's Park where the Ontario Provincial Parliament back in October 2019 with my Google Pixel 2 XL using the Night Sight setting which still blows me away today when I use it. Got low to the ground, playing with the angle & perspective of the photo a bit to change up the mood when I took it and still got a lot of love for the symmetry of the building. A lot less faith in general in the majority of the people inside of it who are supposedly representing us. Also, in this photo I managed to catch the flags flapping just right so they look like they're moving but not like they're stretched out perfectly & being put on display. . . . . . . . . . . #canada #creativeoptic #explorecanada #illgrammers #imagesofcanada #toronto #6ixwalks #onpoli #arkiromantix #visualmobs #symmetryaddicted #citygrammers #clickcity #symmetry #createcommune #architecture_view #government #archdaily #archilovers #lovetoronto #eclectic_shotz #queenspark #symmetryhunters #ontario #creativemobs #urbanromantix #seetorontonow #blogto #lovetdot #nightsight (at Queen's Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM0q8kDhvzI/?igshid=1h17uq8xgadyi

As the days of spring warm the air around us in Toronto I'm thinking back to this view of the skyline from Tommy Thompson Park which I took back in June 2020 on my Google Pixel 2 XL. I think that was actually one of my first times at that park and now you can see why I fell in love with the trails and lookout spots in the park and why I keep traveling across the city to check it out Hope everyone has been getting out to enjoy the sunshine in their city assuming that we in Toronto are not alone in getting a wealth of bright, clear blue skies and gradually warming, deliciously sun soaked days. I absolutely love it and can't wait for the weather to get even hotter! • • • • • • #tommythompsonpark #summerdays #creativemobs #cityexplore #toronto #cntower #toronto_insta #torontoclx #streetsoftoronto #seetorontonow #torontolife #earthpix #streetphotographyinternational #lovetoronto #torontolove #tdot #sunsetporn #6ixwalks #blogto #cityoftoronto #curiocitytoronto #clickcity #imagesoftoronto #inside_to #sunsetsky #creativeoptic #torontoculture #canada #urbatoronto #explorecanada (at Tommy Thompson Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMx3D5qBgYU/?igshid=10vfxu9rkt2ct

Bright blue skies filled with dreams and hopes of the city skyline viewed from under the Gardiner and the Big Red Canoe. Took this back in September 2016 with my Samsung Galaxy S7 right before I stuffed away from it. Another photo I still enjoy whenever I see it come up as a background wallpaper & even had this version of it already squared off for sharing purposes. Decided today - Day 147 - was its day to be on public display. I think this view has changed in the past 4 plus years given all the construction that's going on down in that area. I need to take a look again to see though because I can't think of the last time I stood in this spot or walked along that path under the Gardiner. • • • • • #6ixwalks #architecturedaily #bluesky #cloudsky #citybestpics #cityexplore #cityplace #clickcity #cntower #creativeoptic #ExploreCanada #exploreON #fartoodope #ImagesOfToronto #lovetdot #lovetoronto #postaday #SamsungGalaxy #SeeTorontoNow #shotaward #ShotByPixel #shoot2kill #streetsoftoronto #sunnydays☀️#TheLast6 #thetorontolove #Toronto #TorontoCLX #urbanromantix #way2ill (at Big Red Canoe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvlXZzhGW2/?igshid=1f8wmy4t6lhr

On the path with the way ahead lit up and welcoming, vanishing around the bend into the future Hope everyone enjoyed their weekends & that everyone reading this all have a great week filled with achievement, progress, growth, warmth, happy moments, and sunshine This photo is another throwback, this one from April 2017. Also taken on my Original @madebygoogle @googlepixel, this is from outside the St Regis Hotel in Bal Harbour, Florida Day 146 of my daily posts. I have been getting such warm and delightful feedback about my photos and regular posting recently that I wanted to recognize the fact that everyone who has encouraged me has been so very flattering, appreciated, & humbling. Also because of this feedback, I think I'm going to start looking into making some of my photos available as prints as some folks have expressed interest in purchasing some of my shots. This is something I didn't ever really expect but obviously am totally willing to do. More details on that once I have them will be forthcoming • • • • • • #landscapingdesign #googlepixel #Miami #MiamiBeach #HelloSunny #LoveFL #somewheremagazine #Florida #StRegis #BalHarbour #streetphotographyinternational #travelgram #wanderlust #visualsoflife #beautifuldestinations #ExploreMore #LiveAuthentic #vanishingpoint #symmetry #visitfl #USA #America #fartoodope #way2ill #shoot2kill #citybestpics #cityexplore #latergram #creativeoptic #VisitTheUSA (at Bal Harbour, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMtEbLnBZ18/?igshid=96893pdz4hl7

You don't always get to see the whole picture but sometimes it's enough. Took a panoramic shot of the CN Tower & Rogers Centre framed by the buildings of City Place but am only sharing a squared off crop of that original because Instagram 😀. I still think it's enough Took this panoramic back in November 2016 with my OG Google Pixel. Still enjoy this photo immensely whenever I see it come up as a background wallpaper & decided today was its time to be on display. • • • • • #ShotByPixel #SeeTorontoNow #streetsoftoronto #fartoodope #way2ill #shoot2kill #citybestpics #cityexplore #TheLast6 #shotaward #exploreON #urbanromantix #ImagesOfToronto #ExploreCanada #sunnydays☀️ #goldenhour #architecturedaily #skyporn #bluesky #cityplace #6ixwalks #clickcity #googlepixel #creativeoptic #clickcity #postaday #cntower #lovetdot #lovetoronto #thetorontolove (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqd_0JBWcq/?igshid=k7znc68if0ro

I wanted a colorful sky in my life tonight but didn't know specifically what to share so I just scrolled through my folder of 'To Be Shared Later' photos & this one caught my eye. I love the vanishing point aspect of the pier that just seems to go off into the infinite watery distance This is from late June 2020, taken on my @madebygoogle @googlepixel 2 XL. I really need to get downtown one of these days for a proper view of the sunset again because though I can see the colors in the sky from my area, the sunset is just so much more epic when viewed down by the water and with the skyline as well Day 145! That's how many days in a row I've now been posting to my personal Instagram! Hope you're enjoying it as much as I am enjoying sharing Every ❤, every 💬, & every 🔃 is appreciated immensely 🙏🏼😀 • • • • • • #createcommune #canada #canadiancreatives #citygrammers #citykillerz #colorfulsky #dailyhiveto #discoveron #explorecanada #illgrammers #ImagesOfToronto #lakeontario #seetorontonow #serialshooters #shotsdelight #shotzdelight #skyporn #Torontoclx #sunsetporn #ontarioplace #clickcity #toronto #urbanandstreet #urbanromantix #visualsgang #way2ill #postaday #6ixwalks #earthpix #creativeoptic (at Toronto Harbourfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMn83hDht2L/?igshid=w38sj8s897jc

Symmetrical Self-Reflection from the past for Throwback Thursday. View of Surfside Beach up the beach from Miami Beach, Florida, USA back in February 2016 With the weather in Toronto finally warming up it has me thinking warm thoughts & getting excited for the return of patio weather to Toronto where sitting out in the park to socially distance hang with friends doesn't feel like a chore and require bundling up in multiple layers 📸 taken and created with the ZTE Axon A1R & its camera software. I was rocking that phone & playing with the different camera settings at the time I took/created this picture back in February 2016. I really liked the result of being able to see the photo's outcome in terms of the auto-generated "mirror reflection" creation before I even took it. I hope you had a great week, made lots of progress in whatever you had your attention on, that you weren't too zonked all week due to the time change, and that you're enjoying your Thursday. See you right here tomorrow! 😀 • • • • • • #beachphotography #landscapelovers #beachview #beachlove #shoreline #beachvibes #mirrorshot #visualmobs #symmetryaddicted #clickcity #citykillerz #symmetry #jaw_dropping_shotz #reflectionshots #florida #all2epic #placesoftheworld #miamibeach #symmetricalmonsters #VisitTheUSA #symmetryhunters #miami #LoveFL #traveltheworldwithme #symmetrykillers #urbanromantix #floridalife #ThrowbackThursday #balharbour #surfside (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMk1wpaB5Sq/?igshid=1y0levpbgne71

🌈🌈🌈‼️🤯 We've all seen the double rainbow...but how many of us can say we've seen a TRIPLE RAINBOW??? I think this is where I make a joke about pots of gold at the end of rainbows given that it's St Patrick's Day but all I'll do is wish everyone a happy second St Paddy's in Lockdown in Toronto. Wow. I thought the 🌈🌈🌈 was a pretty impressive sight to see and I'm not sure if it's common or not but I thought it was pretty spectacular and special to see and wanted to share it. I also wonder what causes this to happen. If anyone knows let me know but knowing me I'll probably look it up eventually haha Happy St Patrick's Day 2021!!! • • • • • #naturehike #canada #canadiancreatives #citygrammers #citykillerz #dailyhiveto #discoveron #explorecanada #illgrammers #imagesofcanada #naturephotography #cloudporn #seetorontonow #serialshooters #shotsdelight #shotzdelight #doublerainbow #tommythompsonpark #toronto #rainbows #stpatricksday #visualsgang #way2ill #weekly_feature #6ixwalks #triplerainbow #rainbow #skyporn #cdntourism #🌈 (at Tommy Thompson Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMijDeKhl3N/?igshid=eir2frvwu2rb
