Christmas in the City

the stores were selling Christmas wares like this one at a local supermarket on the danforth as early as after thanksgiving in October.

these poinsettas were photographed at the canyon creek on front street.

danforth is all dressed up for the holidays.

and this is the scene on the danforth going eastbound from victoria park.

sidewalk displays like this one were in abundance.

and this.

a close up of that sidewalk display.

this is the park on front street by the flatiron building.

the snowflake Christmas tree display - this serves as the fountain during the summer.

trees like this one are all dressed up with colourful lights.

the tree with the flatiron building as a backdrop.

more trees dressed up in colourful lights.

the Christmas tree at Brookfield place.

the ceiling lights at brookfield place - a thousand lights or more, i would guess.

a planter display at the food court at brookfield place.
