We think of size by population - typically. But today's views of Toronto show its size on the horizon. These are from Grimsby area landmarks. The first is Grimsby Beach, where the Peace Garden and Pump House are located. It used to be a popular boat landing destination.
The second is from Peninsula Ridge, the winery that marks the Beamsville/Grimsby line so is the east section of town.
What a remarkable difference of the clarity of the Toronto skyline. Some days it seems to be within walking distance, and other days seems to be far away.
The count down to Christmas has a long tradition with the Advent Calendar's little numbered flaps so that one is opened each day. This is a 'famous German tradition', and the first known Advent Calendar dates from 1851. There are also Advent candles and Advent wreaths.
Today's image of Christmas decorations has its origins more recently - in the Grinch that Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. If you go to Pinterest there are hilarious pictures of Green-stockinged back ends in the Christmas tree as part of the decorations. Take a look HERE
We also have a great view to Toronto with a freighter in the foreground - the CN Tower seems to be keeping the cloud line from descending on the city.
