Niagra Falls

Filed under: Uncategorized — madguru @ 4:02 pm



I went to Niagara falls a bunch of times as a kid. Coming back from Toronto, I figured I’d drive round the long way, visit the falls and Buffalo thus driving all the way around Lake Erie.

Here are some photos of the Canadian side of the falls. I didn’t have much time. I was on a deadline to get the rental car back so I wouldn’t get charged for an extra day that I really didn’t need. That kinda made the day more exciting too.

The first two are panoramas I quickly stitched together (as well as cleaned up) and the last two are regular photos.

Downtown Toronto by Day

I went in search of some small art galleries, didn’t find them, but I did find some really interesting buildings, a cool flea market, the watercolor society’s gallery (which was great!) and some cold winds.

Gerrard Street Toronto Part 1

Filed under: Uncategorized — madguru @ 1:14 am




When I was a kid, living in Buffalo, NY for a few years, my family used to go up to Gerrard Street in Toronto for some desi goodness. Since I was in Toronto, I decided to go see if it looked anything close to the way my third grade mind had remembered it. It was much smaller than I remembered. I may have grown a little. The buildings in Toronto are beautiful at night, as seen from the freeway. I didn’ get a chance to photograph them at night, but I had a lot of fun on Gerrard Street. I’m sure there would have been more people if it hadn’t been as cold.

Going to Toronto

Filed under: Uncategorized — madguru @ 1:02 am




Started off to Toronto, from Toledo, Ohio at 5:30am. Stopped for gas in Detroit before sunrise..creepy and stinky too. Then off to the border areas in Ontario, Canada as the sun came up.

Met up with Arvindh in Cleveland and checked out a college campus. They even have a Frank Gehry building on campus. The last one is a church I saw on the way to Cleveland.

Wow, this taking photos stuff is so much faster than sketching. Not as satisying though. I’ll have more sketches soon.

Next we head over to the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. It’s a huge estate open to the public. The buildings had already closed, but we had just enough time to walk around the grounds.
