    Toronto Time-Lapse

    Next time I find myself exasperated on a Toronto sidewalk with moaning children and and an absent sense of direction, I'll try to remember the beauty that surrounds me when viewed from a different angle and remind myself that I'm one small part of a living, breathing bigger picture...
