Fall Colours – St. James Cemetery

Posted on November 6, 2014October 16, 2022 by David Barker

In Toronto, it can be easy to overlook the change of colours if you spend a lot of time in the downtown core, or walking through the PATH, or commuting by subway. An antidote to all the concrete is a walk through a cemetery. Most of the urban cemeteries were established in the early 19th century and so they have mature trees and forested areas that dampen the noise and offer moments of solitude and reflection. One is the St. James Cemetery on the southeast corner of Bloor & Parliament. Here are some photos that capture the fall colours:
