I was waiting for my daughter, but being obsesive <psycho>geographer> was more powerfull. Cold November day, wind over 70km per hour, I still went out and make those 12 photos during my 10 minutes walk around Metropolitan Church and St. Michael Hospital near the corner of Church and Queen Streets in Toronto.

First photo was not even made from the outside of the car. Seeing: "This is what excitement is made of ", was convincing enough. When I crossed the street: "Your source for unearthly goods". WOW!

Strolling is apparently aimlessness – that is one of the main elements of psychogeography. In most of the cases aim was found. First I noticed heritage buildings in quite poor shape, some of them even looking abandoned.

Just above hundreds and hundreds of windows.

I like street art. This way of creating it is not with artistic aspiration. It is more a consequence.

Whole area was until recently Pawnbrokers paradise. Few of them survived, but very far away of what it was. /You can use pawnbrokers to borrow money in exchange for leaving your valuables. You'll be able to get the item back if you repay the loan and interest on time, otherwise it'll be sold/.

Metropolitan United Church is a historic Neo-Gothic style church in Church Street. It is one of the largest and most prominent churches of the United Church of Canada.

There was also something else here. We know that humanizing of trees is wrong, but in this case, at least to me, it was so obvious, This is a human-made place. It is all about humans.

In depth observation of the whole Church Street was done when I was invited to participate at the Fourth World Congress of Psychogeography in 2022. / => LINK /
