Tower of Casa Loma in Toronto
Casa Loma (Spanish for Hill House) is a Gothic Revival style house and gardens in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. It was originally a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. Casa Loma was constructed over a three-year period from 1911–1914. The architect of the mansion was E. J. Lennox, who was responsible for the designs of several other city landmarks. At 98 rooms, it was the largest private residence in Canada. Notable amenities included an elevator, an oven large enough to cook an ox, two vertical passages for pipe organs, central vacuum, two secret passages in Sir Henry's ground-floor office and three bowling alleys (never completed).

Orca at Sea World in Toronto, Canada
Orca at Sea World in Toronto, Canada. Shortly after I took this picture he jumped again and landed closer to me. I was a more than a little bit wet. Couldn't believe it, but it did not ruin my camera. Whew!
