Keep forgetting to post some of these.. A statue that the Queen ♕ had dedicated to her highway.. It's got a lion and her crown 👑 is at the top 🔝 Under the lion it says this "the Queen Elizabeth Way was opened by the king and Queen in June 1939 marking the first visit of a reining sovereign to a sister dominion of the Empire. The courage and resolution of their majesties in undertaking the royal visit in the face of imminent war have inspired the people of this province to complete this work in the empires darkest hour in full confidence of victory and a lasting peace". --August 1940 ______ #urbanexploration #create #createandexplore #explore #exploreeverything #exploretoronto #exploretocreate #views #getoutstayoutside #statue #monument #monuments #structures #structure #architexture #architecture #lion #lionshead #crown #Queen #monarch #columns #historical #historicaltoronto #viewsfromthe6 #visualambassadors #thepeoplescreative #visualsoflife #nofilter #bluesky (at Humber Bay Park)
