photo journal: doors open 2011

This past weekend was Doors Open Toronto (a weekend in Toronto where many buildings allow visitors free access to properties that are usually not open to the public.) Naturally, I was super excited because of the great opportunities to take some cool photos... and hassle free! Here are some of my pictures from the weekend, as always, go to my Flickr to see all the pictures!

Stunning Art Deco decor inside the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant:

Finally, I had an incredible experience at Toronto's First Post Office—wrote a letter with a quill pen and sealed it with wax!
