Yonge Street

Photo Theme. Visit participants.

This weeks theme is Narrow

IMG_0246

I took this photo last year just as a street festival was winding down in downtown Toronto. That’s why there’s people standing around and walking on this normally very busy street.

I love how you can see the rows of stores and office buildings far off in the distance and how the street gradually narrows.

Did you know that Yonge Street is the longest street in the world? It begins near the Lake Ontario in downtown Toronto, Ontario and goes right through the city and then through Ontario to the border of Manitoba as highway 11. It’s over 1,896 kilometres (1 178.12 miles) long!

    Wow, I learned something -no idea it was the longest! I like how the photo is dark-ish and it’s all white and light at the back.

    That is a great photo. Cool that you could get it before it’s filled with cars…

    Looks narrow though but good thing that cars can still pass by, unlike our road where i my mother lives. Great shot! Have a great weekend! Hope you can take a look mine, thank you!

    Wow, awesome picture. Reminds me of New York. I would love to live somewhere in a city like that; Utah doesn’t have anything like it.
