Thanks for all the suggestions of places to go – looks like we’ve got ideas for a good few months to come!
I’ve just created a Facebook event for the next photo walk:
Where: The Junction (meet at Rebas Cafe & Gallery, 3289 Dundas Street West)
When: Sunday, December 13th, 2pm onwards – we’ll be in the pub when it’s dark 🙂
I have drafted a route but obviously we can tweak it as the group wants. Google Maps say it’s a 3.4km (2.1 miles), which is the same as the Yorkville photo walk, and that took us about 4 hours!
Hello Paul:
That a wonderful initiative!
Welcome to the historical West Toronto Junction [The Junction].
If I may suggest you to start from Runnymede and Dundas Street West and move along the Dundas to East till the Dundas Street West Subway Station with visiting some back lanes and other places.
Have fan and looking forward to see your photos,
Regards,
~Olga

Hi Olga! Thanks for the suggestion – I’ll check it out. Will you be joining us?
I added this photo walk’s details (such as they are!) to photowalklist.com – it’s @ http://www.photowalklist.com/photowalk-toronto-junction/
High Park is pretty close by, just a thought. Hope to make it.

OK, I have a plan! I’ve updated the original blog post and now I’m updating the Facebook event, Flickr discussion thread, etc.
I just got an email from Anna-Louise Richardson, Executive Director, The Junction BIA:
So we’ll need to post our photos quickly!
Grant MacDonald also sent me an email:
I don’t think we’ll have time to get to the Heinzman house but the Glenlake bridge is on the route.
The forecast now (Saturday, 11am) says: “Cloudy with sunny periods. Rain beginning early in the morning and ending in the afternoon. Wind becoming southwest 30 km/h in the morning then light late in the evening. High plus 4.” Let’s re-assess the weather tomorrow morning and decide whether to postpone the photo walk; I’m hopeful that “ending in the afternoon” means we’ll be OK to get out and shoot.
**Check the thread on the website for a last minute decision.
Executive decision: Let’s do it! It’s dry right now (9am) despite what the forecast says, so I’m hoping it’ll stay dry this afternoon. If it doesn’t, then we’ll find a bar or somewhere to hide out (and take some indoor shots) until it does 🙂
See you all at Rebas Cafe at 2pm – if you’re late, call me (647-388-5356) and we’ll let you know where we are so you can catch up.
Thanks to everyone who came along; I see some people have already started posting photos to our Flickr gallery (http://www.flickr.com/groups/torontophotowalks/) – I’m still working on my shots from the Yorkville walk! 🙂
Whoops – I forgot to post links to the photographers’ pictures; Harvey, Olga, Ron, Scott and me.
