Rio de Janeiro has some pretty spectacular entranceways. Here is one that I found today on Rua Duvivier in Copacabana:
It is a magical front door located exactly one block from the beach.
The other gem I stumbled upon today was Rua Carvalho de Mendonça, pictured here:
Toward the left (above) is a narrow bollard-separated lane for cars. The rest of the right of way is dedicated to pedestrians and bicycles.
When I was there today the sun was shining and the retail was in full swing.
But perhaps my favorite thing about this street is the residential terraces sitting on top of the single storey “retail podiums.”
They add life (and eyes) to the street.
This morning I watched the sun rise from the the roof of Ten York Condominiums, some 735 feet up. This is what that looked like (the sky initially had a purple hue to it):
This past weekend was the first weekend of the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. It’s a great time to be in the city – regardless of whether you’re into film or not. It felt as if the entire city decided not to sleep this past weekend.
Growing up in Toronto, it was also the signal that summer is coming to an end and the city is now about to refocus itself on work. Game on.
Here are a few photos from the weekend:

It was cold as all hell, but sometimes you have to work for your photos.
Some of you may also remember that I wrote about this building a few months ago. Tridel, the developer, is calling the project its first “smart condominium.”
Regular scheduled programming will resume tomorrow.
