Colombo shows me the West Toronto Railpath

A cool Monday was the perfect day to take up John Robert Colombo’s offer to show me the railpath. There doesn’t appear to be much shade and it might have been killer hot in midsummer.
As it was, a bit of cloud cover made ideal weather for exploring the rust belt of old factories and industrial works that line the GO train tracks. I love this stuff… somebody had a great idea, to make a public asphalt path and let nature do the landscaping. Low maintenance, quiet and real.
[Update] JR and I are shown standing in front of one of four mesh sculptures that are situated along the Railpath. The artist is John Dickson.
