Last minute shopping




It is a gloomy day, as my brother is leaving tonight and we went to do last minute shopping at Overlea. Sky is not promising at all.

End of the day




We got home quite late, but still had time to do some night photography in our home park. Looks great, uh?

Fall storm



When it was time to meet my brother, who was visiting over Estonia, I experienced a great fall storm. It was so strong that I thought it would lift me up to the air - cycling was going to be tough! :)
I have never seen a storm like that before :O

Bloor Street in the morning from the saddle









I ended up taking photos throughout my ride, as it was such a great day sunny and I felt good - why not? I captured a cool bike messenger, sleepy street and cool buildings of Bloor West and of course me on the bike :)


Love cycling in Toronto



I love sun, I love cycling, I love taking photos, I know the last two do not go so well together, but I tried just this once. On my way to work.

Just four days later

Remember this POST?


It changes quite fast, right?

Fall sunrise



Due to the dry and sunny weather I am really starting to like fall more here than before. I grabbed this shot this morning, while going to work.

Halloween decorations







Halloween is just around the corner, and so people have paid lots of attention to decorating their lawns, entrances of their homes and probably a lot also indoors. Since it is not so common, yet to celebrate Halloween in Estonia, I find all this decorating pretty interesting. Therefore a series of the shots :)

Closest to Halloween in Estonia is Mardipäev. Which is an important holiday in Estonian folk calendar. Mardipäev is on the 10th of November but children dress up as men and go from house to house on the 9th of November. Long time ago Mart put on big boots and coats. Their costumes used to be brown and black. Nowadays the costumes are more colourful and look different (even witches’, clowns’, cats’, dogs’ or other funny costumes). Children sing special songs and wish households good luck for crops, cattle and for the household in general. In an old time people gave to Mart bread, meat and the other type of foods. Today Mart usually gets a lot of diffrents sweets or even money.

Fall in East York



I just needed a photo of my neighborhood to send Kadri and I happened to step out in an excellent moment, as a nice red, probably, Canada Post, bus came  from the right and made my shot alive. Fall in Toronto is enjoyable.
