I'm sure the suspense has gone on long enough! That painting is "Canal in Flanders" - 1894, by the Belgian painter Théo van Rysselberghe. This habit of posting more frame than art comes from my AGO social media days www.seemsartless.com/ago.html
No live video, but photos of the Stones playing at the El Mocambo with the palm tree images in the background along with the audio from that night of them playing Dance Little Sister. - 49 years ago tonight - March 4th, 1977 Margaret Trudeau was there, were you???

Ascending, as though to the moon, at Mount Pleasant LRT station, exiting thru a building from 1928. The façade was disassembled, catalogued, then put back 2gether brick-by-brick, oh my! And so begins a Saturday walk in part of the city that's now easy for me to get to. #ttc #TOpoli #walkTO #urban

Art galleries and libraries are amazing. Spending a bit of time today at the wonderful @agotoronto.bsky.social
Sounds like two sailors were taken to the hospital. Things can go wrong, fast at those speeds, in such close quarters.

Modern colour photographs of houses with white snow out front and trees with no foliage.
Cold, clear winter Sunday in downtown Toronto.
A colorful sculpture featuring oversized, stylized hands stands in a park setting. An orange scaffolding structure is visible nearby, with trees in the background. The image is framed with a blue dotted border and includes the text "Embrace” and artist name Will Cuthbert.
A modern architectural installation featuring a cube-like structure with circular, reflective elements. It stands on a sandy beach against a cloudy sky. The background is orange with dotted patterns, and there is text indicating "CHIMERA" along with the artist names Denys Horodnyak and Enzo Zak Lux.
An artistic installation on a snowy landscape features a wooden structure surrounded by transparent panels. Several people are seen interacting with the installation, with one individual standing on top. The image includes the name "Glaciate" and mentions Toronto Metropolitan University and Ming Chuan University.
Winter Stations is back! Toronto’s annual exhibition of temporary outdoor art installations at Woodbine Beach launches Feb. 16. I got to be part of this year’s jury, and here’s some of the winning entries that you’ll be seeing!
"Drop in speed compliance" is quite a word salad to avoid saying "speeding increased."
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is reminding you to stay the hell away from rivers and streams on its Flood Watch page.

What bliss it is to have the ice trail all to yourself.
The early bird gets the good ice.
Many things to gripe about in Toronto, but the free outdoor city skating rinks isnt one of them. Thought we could use more ice trails.

Sunday run through gorgeous Toronto ravines, parks, and Lake Ontario is priceless!!
Why do I live in Toronto? I love it. 18% area are ravines, plus lake Ontario, Humber & Don rivers... and magnificent vibrancy brought by over 1/2 born in another country. Truly multicultural.
SERIOUSLY, WATCH THIS: If you really want to understand how huge SUVs and pick-up trucks have ended up being MOST of the vehicles out there in our cities, and the absolutely INSANE consequences of that, watch this easy-to-watch video by #NotJustBikes. Then please share it as much as you can.
Happy Stylish But Illegal Monkey In IKEA Day to all who celebrate!
Complex highway interchange from the air
Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom.
Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?”
Choices.
Choices are more free than car dependency.
It’s not a hard concept.
I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport.
I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

A modern colour photo of a crowd of people watching two people playing guitar. Towards the top right of the photo is a lit sign reading "Lee s" - as in Lee's Palace in downtown Toronto.
So great to see the @lowestofthelow.bsky.social tonight at Lee's Palace, and our friends from the opening band, the Lazarettes:
Name this famous Toronto coat check...
Screen shot of Safe Parkside IG post
Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.
Would love the wagon version of this EV.
🚨 Fake CBC “headlines” are spreading in conservative spaces — fabricated to look real & discredit CBC.
They’re meant to seed doubt, not truth.
Always verify: real CBC stories have links.
