Posted by Dave at May 2, 2006 02:27 AMMy friend was on that phone a few weeks ago when the phone literally snapped into two while she was on it, with my roomate. Watch out for that phone people!
Posted by selam at May 2, 2006 03:09 AMHi Sam,
The little metal 'guy' with the pointy Pinnochio nose (just above the empty cardboard box) looks like a 3D version of one of the fantastical creatures painted or drawn on the wall. :-) And the box somehow is a sign of a human having passed by the fantasy creatures' domain. On the right: is that a window, or a mirror? I wonder if we appear as strange to the creatures as they do to us, or maybe more so! :-) Thanks for your keenly observant eye, and your technical skill to be able to catch these curious moments of our shared adventure here on Planet Earth.
Posted by Katharine at May 2, 2006 03:47 AMwow what an excellent mural got any more shots of it?
Great picture
Posted by Vanella Mead at May 2, 2006 05:10 AMI love the Timbits box at the bottom. It turns the photo into a story.
Posted by garyjwood at May 2, 2006 06:46 AMNice wall art
is this on your ultra wide angle again???
damn beautiful colours and details :)
does it distort at all??
Posted by JD at May 2, 2006 08:31 AMVery interesting wall here. I can't tell if it is a painting or some kind of wall covering. Whatever it is, it's quite colorful.
Posted by Nate at May 2, 2006 09:08 AMI visit pretty regularly. One feature I have spotted on a similar website makes whatever is the image of the day a link to the image of the previous day. This compels users to spend more time viewing becasue the hand need not even move in order to see another image, just click. I think this site would be wise to integrate the same feature. I love to look at the images as I am on the S. shore of Ontario and I have quite a fondness for Toronto. ANyway, anything that encourages viewers to linger and look is a good thing, I think.

Great art on the wall.
Posted by mel at May 2, 2006 10:11 AMNow what do i call this... just awesome.. it has been captured well but what the artist whos done this piece of wall is a man of colors...
Posted by Shikher at May 2, 2006 10:45 AMYou sure do find some fascinating stuff Sam.
You are doing a great job of recording a lot of Toronto's being. It will be a great historical treasure.
And most of it has an artfull touch, like the used food box by the phone, and an angle that gets the feel of the scene.
I'm surprised jon-michael finds it too much to move the cursor over to "day before" to see what else has been going on.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at May 2, 2006 11:12 AMAh but of course...Lee's...a city monument. Cool shot Sam.
Posted by Dave MacIntyre at May 2, 2006 11:31 AMI want some timbits...the glazed ones...
Posted by Nima R at May 2, 2006 11:36 AMFantastic saturation Sam. The doughnut box gives the scene an 'abandoned' feel.
Posted by eric y at May 2, 2006 11:47 AMLove that wall. I've even used that phone! One more reason why I now carry wet wipes.
=o}
Great picture!
Posted by Vivi at May 2, 2006 12:38 PMawww, what happened to the rollover EXIF info?
Posted by Elissa at May 2, 2006 01:05 PMLovely wall painting!
We don't have the culture of graffiti in Taiwan,
For me,It's a special experience.
Wallart ,telephon,pipes,spotlights,showwindow?(or TV set?).Nice composition!
I like this shot a lot. I think your photos the last few days have been great. your subjects and angles got a little stale for a couple days. its great to see these really unique subjects. I was happy to see todays shot from the side and not straight on.
Posted by jacob at May 2, 2006 01:44 PMCheck your browser settings - rollover EXIF is still working for me. And on that, Sam, I'd be interested to hear your views of the 10-22 as compared to your previous favourite lens, the 17-40.
Posted by Hazelbrae at May 2, 2006 01:45 PMlove the angle/ perspective of that photo a lot, and lovely colours
Posted by Susie at May 2, 2006 02:26 PMI have a daughter who loves to draw; not just loves to, needs to. It is a need that comes from deep within. Only that kind of artist could do something like this. He must have had such a sense of statisfaction and accomplishment upon completing this work.
Posted by micki at May 2, 2006 03:20 PMvery nice, great colors!
Posted by Rui at May 2, 2006 05:55 PMWhat a great shot... Gotta love those timbits!
Posted by Tom at May 2, 2006 06:49 PMLee's Palace is a great photography subject since it's so bizzare and unique. I really like this photo.
Posted by Rob at May 2, 2006 07:20 PMOh wow! Very cool wall.
Posted by AirBete at May 2, 2006 08:26 PMMessy and yet so beautiful. The effects of time and people, great shot.
Posted by Carlos Lorenzo at May 2, 2006 08:27 PMWow, I amazed at all the vivid colors. That is a wild wall. You could look at it for hours and probably find something new. Great shot.
Posted by Laurie at May 2, 2006 10:17 PMFYI, the wall's mural artist is Alex Curry aka "Runt".
Posted by Marshall at May 3, 2006 09:33 AMoooo... a Palace!
Posted by qoJ at May 3, 2006 12:14 PMGreat textures and colors - perfectly exposed. This is great!
Posted by Abe at May 4, 2006 04:53 PMWith great sharpness, this picture shows that a wall is sometimes much more than a wall...
Posted by Miguel at May 4, 2006 07:29 PMI really like this one. A fantastically mad abstraction of a mural... like Hergé on acid! Also, check out the grafitti near Keele station if u get a chance.
