The first two will be the same, except we’ll work our way through the alphabet. The second can be a favorite image or activity from the week. The third will be different each time.

Friday Finds 

ABC Wednesday

July 2016 - Toronto ON

Starts with E - Exhibition Place.

Exhibition Place is a publicly owned mixed-use district, located by the shoreline of Lake Ontario, just west of downtown. The 197-acre (80 ha) site includes exhibit, trade, and banquet centres, theatre and music buildings, monuments, parkland, sports facilities, and a number of civic, provincial, and national historic sites. The district's facilities are used year-round for exhibitions, trade shows, public and private functions, and sporting events.

The entrance to Exhibition Place is through the Princes' Gates.

Often mistakenly called the "Princess Gates", the monumental Princes' Gates were officially opened by Princes Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), and George (later the Duke of Kent), on August 31, 1927, during that year's CNE. The gates were built in the Beaux-Arts style to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Canadian Confederation and were originally to be called The Diamond Jubilee of Confederation Gates. The name was changed when it was found that the Princes were touring Canada the year of its dedication

It reads Canadian National Exhibition 1879 (year of the first Exhibition)  1927 when the princes' made their visit.

This photo was taken from the car on another day and you can see the wind turbine, a 91-metre windmill belonging to WindShare co-operative, erected on December 18, 2002, is the first wind turbine installed in a major North American urban city centre. The turbine production capacity helps displace up to 380 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, which is the equivalent of taking 1,300 cars off the road or planting 30,000 trees each year.

Week's Favourite a mural by Clandestinos, husband wife team of Shalak and Smoky.

Bounce

OK so I didn't take this and was stumped this week when this showed up in Facebook this afternoon so it must be serendipity!
