Perhaps a good deal to be had on a Tesla. The former Honeydale mall parking lot is absolutely rammed with them. They're even parked on the sidewalk to the mall entrance.

At the Tesla dealership across the street, dozens of cyber trucks are visible on the far side of the building.

The shadow effect in central etobicoke.

Three active construction projects visible in the frame below. Tridel's Westerly Condos has reached full height. In the foreground it looks like dewatering has begun at the future site of Cavo. In the far lower left of the frame, columns for the new Amica Islington Village are visible.

Looking towards Bloor street and The East Mall. Cranes visible are from Valhalla village and I'll have shots of those posted later in the week.

Valhalla Village at Bloor street and The East Mall seems to be progressing quickly.

That's all folks!

Forecast isn't looking good for tomorrow afternoon so I thought I would head out on foot this afternoon while the little one was at an activity.

Here is a little UTM then and now.

Here are a few more UTM shots - opposite direction from yesterday.
It was so clear yesterday afternoon. The downtown core can be seen in the far left while some of the apartments and condos in Port Credit are visible in the upper centre.

Another new rez building under construction

Filing some old shots and came across this one of Bert Flemming park/Credit Woodlands from October 12th. I love the blue painted tennis courts and roadway.

Nasty, miserable afternoon today but I managed a couple of flights totaling 31 minutes and 11.4km flown.

M3 on the left and Exchange Towers on the right really stand out on the MCC skyline.

Looking north on Hurontario at The Queensway. LRT track installation through the intersection has been completed.

The complete rebuild of this section of The Collegeway is finally complete. On an overcast Sunday afternoon the new asphalt, sidewalks, curbs and pavement markings create quite the contrast. South Common Mall is visible in the background
