I live in the neighbourhood and would love to join you. I have a lunch way up north so might give you a call if I get back at a reasonable time.

BTW, can you post some pics from Casa Loma? Any nice flowers?

Joking aside, I did get some great shots. Didn't shoot Casa Loma itself as there was a lot of construction on as well as tourists, but got the Stables

Well, that would be dirty pool, and not surprised. The city of Toronto does own the property.

Very nice! The stables building is one of my favorite buildings. Built in 1905 before the actual castle was built between 1911 to 1914. I am also a fan of the hunting lodge where the Pellats lived during construction of the castle.
