Since I’m not on a personal 24-hour news cycle, these photos come a little after the fact. A couple weekends ago, Toronto’s Bloor-Yorkville district held its annual IceFest. Just about every DSLR owner in Toronto was there, so I expect there are a gazillion images of the event floating around the Internets. Here’s my contribution to the glut. First up is a photo of a man named Neil standing outside the Bloor-Yonge subway station.

This year’s celebration was Egyptian-themed. I’m not sure if this particular sculpture is supposed to be an Egyptian God. I wonder how long an ice sculpture would last in the Valley of the Kings.


Hordes of people all along Cumberland Avenue:

The selfie was the photo of choice.

I was astonished at the number of people, like me, wandering around with DLSR’s.

William McElcheran’s Che Fa? I’m goofing around in front of a sculpture is what’s che fa.

Not everyone wore appropriate footwear. But hey. It’s Yorkville.


Not all the sculptures survived Saturday night.
