Kinda Cool, Kinda Sad.....

Came across a kinda cool footbridge over the Rosedale Valley Ravine.

And it has been here for quite a while, too.

This picture taken in 1890.

Now that guy in front on the left isn't a ghost.

During the time lapse photography for this photo, he got tired and left. And then died, and came back - holy cow - as a ghost.


Since the first picture has so much greenery in it, you can't see the beautiful, old house in the background of the second photo.  Of course, at the time, it wasn't that old.

But in this photo  you can see it - well some of it.  Darn that greenery.

And they have done a good job of adding some nice greenery to these mini-parks.   And the stone work and plaque.

The one below recognizes the celebrated Canadian author, Morley Callaghan.

Great tribute to him.

But kinda sad, if you read to the last line.

Kinda sad, but I guess that's life......

You're in my Dad's old neighbourhood. On your walk abouts look for 84 Rosedale Heights. The home of the Lalor's back in the 1920's - 1950's. Semi small house but still came with a maid. Where did that kind of money go?
