Toronto's Outdoor Art

On our last trip to Toronto, I couldn't help but notice the street art...

... that brightens old buildings in the heart of downtown.

This raccoon picture camouflages a mailbox...

Old buildings are a wonderful canvas for whimsical scenes.

I don't think we have many painted buildings in Ottawa... Or maybe, living here, I simply don't notice them anymore.

Toronto Street Art

I often stop to admire "street art."

This hodge podge of paintings on the side of a Toronto building no doubt needed scaffolding to complete...

I wonder who painted these on a schoolyard fence.

A mix of images and painting styles...

(A longing, perhaps, for the ocean?!)

My favorite? A more local theme: a giant raccoon face!
