Up Yonge St. With Toronto Photo Walks
Let's forget about March roaring in like a Lion, this year it was more an ill tempered honey badger. We didn't get any percipitation the first weekend of the month but oh boy it felt cold with the wind chill. Jo-Anne and I dressed for the weather when we met up with the Toronto Photo Walks group. The route took us up Yonge Street in Deer Park, a neighbourhood I have some family connections, two aunts grew up on Avoca Ave just east of Yonge St. and my great grandmother on dad's side spent the last decade of her life living in an apartment on Lawton Boulevard overlooking what used to be Alexander Muir Garderns now the Davisville Subway Yard.
The windchill was nasty, glad I wasn't on a chairlift that day and of course the end point was the Granite Brewery. My OM-1n worked flawlessly during this cold snap, in fact propbably the coldest day of winter and we were three quarters of the way through it. That said, there's always one last snow storm before Easter.
Camera: Olympus OM-1n Zuiko S 50 F1.8 lens.
