The University of Toronto, with a view of some little tower or something in the distance.


Stained glass window


Faces on the wall


Rotunda. I like this one because you can see the sky reflected in the windows. I like sky. And windows.


Ivy on a wall. This shows you how far along spring is in Toronto. And yes, there's a window. As I said, I like windows.


Windows open, because it was a nice day. Before the thunderstorm hit, that is.


University college entrance. This was built back in the days when looking old and impressive was a high priority.


The front foyer of University College, in gold.


There were so many windows I could fit in this shot, I couldn't resist.


A bricked up window, with ivy. I liked how we're seeing underneath all the leaves.


Framed!

Possibly my favorite picture ever!

You too like the windows. I knew you would.

the tower in quesion is the infamous toronto CN tower.

my gf works there,
i get private tours up the elevator...*giggles*

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. I'm aware of that, actually. That was a joke. People keep visiting me from far-flung places and not knowing what it is, hence the joke.

thankgoodness.

:D

lovely pics by the way, i too like the spiral windows one best of all.

Pictures of stained glass windows make me cream my shorts. God, I love them.

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Me too! There are tons of stained glass windows in that building, but most of my pictures of them came out quite over exposed, sadly.

you are hilarious... and uber talented. thank you for contributing to my growing appreciation of WINDOWS!

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Yes, people should appreciate windows. I'm glad I could help.:P

Oh, windows!

My favourite. So beautiful and intriguing with soft curves, arcs and straight lines, and the colours and light...

I love the bricked-up window underneath the leaves, too.

Thank you for posting!

Hey, thanks for looking! I should have took more pictures later in the day when the sky opened up and we had a monstrous and unexpected (to me) thunderstorm. But I took these in the morning rather than going to an overly-technical conference session.

Nice windows. Is that the building I made you kindof sortof break into (or at least enter without a sensible purpose) because I'd mistaken it for a Guy Gavriel Kay location?

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Did we break into UC? I don't remember! The one beside Hart House? It's too early in the morning for me. I think it is. The one with the dragon carved into the banister?

[jaig.livejournal.com]

The ivy!bricked!window is my favorite. It's really good.

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! I like this hobby; I don't have to actually create the things, I just have to notice them! Fun!

[jaig.livejournal.com]

If you're interested, otherjoseph is my photography journal. :D

OKAY SUBTLE NUDGE OVER. :|

[supergrover24.livejournal.com]

I'm loving your pictorials. A lot.

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

YAYS! I'm glad they're not annoying, because I feel compelled to compile them. :P How are you doing these days, my friend?

[supergrover24.livejournal.com]

I've been taking pictures, too. I'm really liking the cemetery that borders our campus.

Beyond that, I'm good. Waiting (im)patiently for the surgery to happen. I feel like my summer is on hold until that's over, because it's still not scheduled and I don't want to make plans and then have to break them. And I'm still job hunting.

But I'm reading more, spending a lot of time with my family, and going outside and stuff. I'm feeling really good about life.

You?

And I have an enormous weakness for spiral staircases, so that photo is all sorts of thrilling. :)

I love your picspam posts. ♥

Haha, I was there 2 hours ago but it didn't look as pretty.

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Oh? How come? Rain?

[aldiara.livejournal.com]

These are very pretty. Good to see that some parts of Toronto do actually look nice, heheh. The windows are gorgeous!

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

I got accused of only taking pictures of windows, so I decided to just go with it. :)

*rubs noses*

Some day I /will/ be enrolled in the FIS program at UofT...

I hope.

I figure if I work really hard, and get enough library/archival experience I might have a chance.

Oh dreams of pretty campus life.

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's that hard to get in, actually. Have you tried?

[uberprep.livejournal.com]

I still have two years of undergraduate work to do... so no trying for me yet.

I guess it won't seem too hard after I finish this degree, but I'm still not there yet. :) I guess I stress at work to come...

I'm living in Toronto this summer, working at the Archives of Ontario, so that's exciting enough to make me feel like I'm still moving forward.

Oh sorry, I should have checked your info page before I asked. Don't worry! You'll be fine. And: since people with degrees in the sciences rarely go into librarianship, you'll be much sought-after! If you're interested in being an academic librarian, you might want to get a second master's degree too, in something you enjoy. But you can do that later if you really want to.

Cheers!
