FISHERMAN
This mural pays tribute to the Portuguese community of Toronto, depicting a traditional fisherman from the Nazaré region of Portugal. Artist Pablo Gomez AKA Pablo West
He wears traditional clothing from the region, including a long pointed cap, a brightly coloured shirt, and a sash worn around his waist. In one hand he holds a length of rope, and in the other a net. A fleet of fishing boats can be seen behind him, and beyond them, the open ocean. The Portuguese community has been a longstanding and important presence in the Dundas West area, which is also known as “Little Portugal.” Starting in the 1950s, large numbers of immigrants, many from the Azores and Madeira regions of Portugal settled in this neighbourhood.
excellent selection! I also love your header photo....Frozen Falls (Niagara, I'm assuming) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, Cath, Niagara on the Canadian side.
DeleteI take it that cannabis is legal in Toronto. LOVE that fork at the winery. Great F words, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteYes, cannabis is legal in Canada, Elizabeth.
DeleteHi Jackie,
ReplyDeleteI like that BIG fork, it looks super tall! The murals are really nice. Is Toronto know for street murals? Have a good weekend.

Love your fabulous header Jackie and that fork is a hoot. Have a lovely wekk ahead.
ReplyDeleteCannabis. Forbidden here.
ReplyDeleteCool fork. Funny, too, I have one right here. In The Simpsons chess set, LOL. It just broke.
Ohhhh, would love to try the Mexican food!
Nice mural, too. And friendly, welcoming people.
Lovely mural...I like how it depicts his trade as well as costume. Fast Mexican food might be alright, as long as it's better than Taco Bell!
ReplyDeleteIt is real Mexican fast food, photo taken in Mexico. I would never go near a Taco Bell!
DeleteA good mural.
ReplyDeleteNice post! Love the fork and the mural is a great find! Happy Sunday!
