With the quick melt, there is a considerable ice jam in the mouth of Mimico Creek and I would not be surprised if that were true elsewhere also. The water level in the creek is rising upstream as a result.
Lake Shore Blvd seems well above the rising waters but there is a low point on the road in Humber Bay Park West that might flood a bit.
PS. Be careful walking out there. It’s slippery!
Edit: the ice jam is mostly clear now and the water level has lowered substantially.
Crossing the Humber on the Bloor Line this morning it looked like the ice was all broken up in big chunks. That sometimes leads to really big ice jams in the area. Will have to keep an eye on that.
Removing old Carrier cooling equipment, lifting in new Arctic chiller. I guess this building is good for a few more years. I think the sunlight on Berczy Park is saving this building for now.
Early evening over Lake Shore Blvd West in Mimico.
I think the shot may be of interest simply as a depiction of this part of Etobicoke in the evening but a detail in the shot may be of some further interest. This is not intended to initiate a discussion of world events. The Ukrainian consulate is in the building in the lower centre of the shot. If you look closely you will see that a demonstration is going on. That is also why there is a backup in traffic on the street.
Calvin Presbyterian Church on Delisle Ave. A beautiful building that I was surprisingly unfamiliar with; the red doors are very striking on an dreary winter day.
Not sure how I'm expected to react to this photo.
Is it a joyous image of children at play?
.......a shocking image of adolescent vandalism?
.......a display of adult boredom?
.......a secret political message?
Or just a sign of the times?
