I was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. Below are two photos I took while wandering through a section of the Don Valley, not far from the Bloor-Danforth viaduct. Through the valley runs the Don river, a modest strip of milky brown water flanked by tangled woods, walking and bike paths, the CN railway, and a couple of city freeways. The place has its charms despite a lengthy history of being a garbage dump and an open sewer. Some rehabilitation efforts are underway, and in the mean time, the tension between the pressures of an urban setting and the astonishing capacity of nature’s regrowth, continue.
