Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
The South African War Memorial in the middle of University Avenue was the unusual venue for this year's Newmindspace Bubble Battle. The location was transformed from a stately, somewhat imposing monument, topped by a winged figure overlooking the intersection with Queen Street to a lively space, ringing with laughter and sparkling with bubbles.
The sight of this effervescent gathering sandwiched into the flow of traffic attracted many curious passersby, including a wedding party who posed for photos and were soon joined by revellers—one even clad in a ghost costume.

The pictures are wonderful! I'm so disappointed I missed it though. Hopefully I can attend the next one.
Excellent shots Miles (as usual).
I love the one of Lori apparently inside the big bubble :)
There are a lot more shots of this event in the Torontoist Flickr Pool:

as usual Miles, Brilliant photos!
I love the wedding party photo. By the time I arrived around 4:30 the crowd had already dwindled.
