| Toronto-born Frank Gehry, has done his first building in Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. The famous architect put a long expanse of slanted, reflective glass above the Dundas St. W. entrance to reflect the townhouses across the street. |

| Gehry used a lot of warm wood inside the AGO. |
Many of us living in Southwestern Ontario have a love/hate relationship with Toronto. We love visiting the big city but we don't want to live there. Toronto has great theatres, athletic events, restaurants. The
Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and the
Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) are wonderful places to spend a day.
Right now
King Tut: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs is at the AGO.
 |
| King Tut is two hours from London. |
The
tickets are available online. Buy in advance online and when you walk in the door, you can immediately line-up for entry at the time on your ticket. It's pretty slick.
To go home, one gets on the Gardner Expressway or maybe the 401, and if it is rush hour you just about park your car on the expressway. The going is slow. It gives one a lot of time to consider why, "Toronto is a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there."

Love the "broken" reflections in the first photo, and the pattern in the last photo.
Great reflections in the top shot.
King Tut two hours from London?! Is that flying to Cairo or to Ontario? ;)
