Explosion of Colour...


As I had mentioned in a previous post, I was in Toronto this past weekend. Over the past few decades (eek...I can actually say it's been decades) I have been to this vibrant and inspiring city hundreds of times. And over recent years I have been hearing about Graffiti Alley but have not been there, so on this weekend I dragged my sisters with me (that's a rare selfie with my sisters below). The alley--which should more correctly be called "alleys" as there are many off-shoots--runs parallel to Queen Street West (here's a map). And upon entering the alley all I can say is that it is a veritable explosion of colour [sic] and talent. Some entire buildings were covered and it became overwhelming at times...a sort of Sistine Chapel of street art. I have many many photos of our walk down the alley but narrowed it down to a little over a dozen to post here. Anyhow, if you are planning a trip to Toronto I highly recommend a walk down this free and outdoor gallery of street art.
