Friday Photo Shoot Out--Getting Around

I've accepted a challenge from Patty and Reggie Girl to post photos of our local community every Friday. This week's theme, chosen by Science Girl, is to post photos of how we get around our town other than by car.

There are links to all the Friday Shoot Out participants from literally around the world at the bottom of my left panel. Maybe you'd like to join us as well and post photos of your community? If you do, let me know so I can add your names to the list.

I live in Toronto, in the Scarborough area of Toronto, in the West Hill area of Scarborough. So West Hill will be the focus of my photos.

The truth is, being a suburb of a large city, we mostly drive. We haven't designed our suburbs well for getting around by any other means. Although there are other ways--

We can still ride horseback.



And get to fires on time.



Sometimes, it feels like we spend more time waiting than actually getting around.





Although, eventually the bus does get there.




If we want to get somewhere fast, both the local communiter GO trains and the trans Canada VIA train stop at our local Train Station






We make sure our kids get to school on time, even if we have to call a cab.



Of course, we could always take the boat.
















Or just ride a bike; although that can get tiring.



Walking is fun too.



Although maybe our ancestors still had the best idea. West Hill has many murals on the sides of buildings depicting life in less frantic times.
