Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"

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.
