The Lowe’s Toronto Christmas Market is in its 2nd year running, featuring a 40-foot Christmas tree decorated with over 18,000 lights, a Ferris wheel, reindeer petting zoo, speciality beer, and outdoor fire pits.
The festival celebrates the romance and magic in the form of a traditional European Christmas market.
Carmen and I took the streetcar over after work to the Distillery Historic District.
Local artisan shops – a good opportunity to buy some unique gifts but the goods are also a bit more expensive.
Family selling some maple taffy cones, it was pretty good!
Merry Christmas, I hope you take some time to enjoy the season rather than stressing about finding parking and shopping for gifts!
The market runs from Dec 2nd to Dec 18th, I would encourage you to go check it out!

Been very busy coping with Jetlag and work, hopefully can get around to the Vietnam/Cambodia photos next week.
Stumbled upon this series of artwork along Queen Street.
Tetris gone wrong….
It is easy to get caught up with all the camera gear and forget why I loved taking photos in the first place.
Carrying 2 lenses (FA50 F/1.4 and Tokina AT-X Pro 80-200mm F/2.8)and just walking around downtown Toronto.
Been quite busy lately, but spent some time re-vamping the
gallery and
equipment pages (can also access from top of the page).
