Toronto-First Post

I've been a big fan of this site for awhile, and feel it's about time I posted something. I hope this works alright. None of these photos have any editing or cropping. I have lightroom 4, but only learned how to import and organize pictures so far.
Any comments good or bad are welcome, tips or suggestions are more than welcome!
Here's the first batch, hope you enjoy:

Really nice pictures of one of the world's most beautiful cities! The last pics look dangerous, they are almost standing on the track.

^The train creeps in pretty slowly, at least compared to the subway.

Great pics. Keep 'em comin'.

Great tour, great shots! Thanks for sharing.

Toronto is amazing. You live in a very vibrant city, you have a great urban scenery there. Twice there and enjoyed both visits. Even more, wishing to go back there. I hope next year I will return there.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

As one of the posters mentioned, it does come in quite slow at least for the Go-Trains. Outside of Toronto you have to pay attention to VIA and Freight trains if they are just passing through, because they don't slow down.
What I found in this picture is the tracks look curved and almost like they go into a valley. When you're standing there, you don't see that at all.

Thanks for the reply!!

I think you're right. I read in the paper some time ago that it was going out of business, but when I walked by, it was still open. There must be a time frame on when it's going to close.

I live outside the city, but go in for concerts, ball games, and to visit a friend. It's a nice city to wander around except in the coldest part of the winter.

+1

Toronto has been done many times on here, but there's always seem to be new angles and scenic little urban gems every time somebody posts new pics from T.O..These latest pics reinforces that..Kudos photographer.

I believe it will remain open for another two years.

These are great pics!
