I have been seeing a lot of these posters around downtown Toronto, does anyone know what they are for? I visited the site, looks like there is a big event on May 1st... interesting.

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:




Some huge and impressive machines at the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant:




Inside a fire truck at Fire Station 227... so cool!




Inside the Redpath Sugar Refinery—definitely my top pick at this year's Doors Open!




I want this: Living Wall Biofilter by Nedlaw inside Corus Quay.




Gorgeous art installation by Troika inside Corus Quay:




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