Leslie Street Spit

The Leslie Street Spit... Legend has it that Toronto faced a time in their history where they were faced with two dilemmas. The first being they wanted to increase their harbor and the second being they wanted to de-urbanize a bit and get rid of some buildings. So they decided to kill two birds with one stone. They blew up some buildings and and used the rubble to build the leslie street spit which is pretty much a peninsula that expanded their harbor. They covered it in dirt and now it is actually a nature reserve. As someone told me, it is interesting to see what the world would look like in 30 years if we didn't exist and nature took over. The contrast between the rubble and the nature was actually kind of poetic, i thought it looked cool so i decided to dedicate an entire blog post to it! 

 sometimes the rubble looks like a prehistoric sea creature coming up on the land
