Hello from Toronto, Canada, where I am rocking out my third annual TBEX Travel Blogging Conference with 1,300 of my favorite writers and travel companies from around the world!

Yesterday I had the privilege of going on an architecture photo walk thanks to See Toronto Now, and what a feast for the eyes it was! For those who know the building I deemed #1 best architecture in Boston, you may already have gleaned that I have a thing for tall glass buildings.

They are so sleek and smooth, and I love how their colors shift with the weather and hour! Check out these photos from my Toronto tour to see why I so enjoyed the sights.

Tall glass buildings of the world, I love you!

Each glass building has a slightly different color.

The old Toronto Stock Exchange smiles at the new glass buildings.

I love the use of glass "stairs" on many of Toronto's skyscrapers. — I love the use of glass “stairs” on many of Toronto’s skyscrapers.

Random cow sculptures grace the lawn outside the towering buildings.

A cute streetcar zips folks around the city.

This building makes me want to skateboard along it... — This building makes me want to skateboard along it…

Brilliant how the Allen Lambert Galleria combines old and new.

Great pics. I enjoy taking photos like this and Toronto is a great place to do it. I like that you included the gold glass building -- I think it's the Royal Bank of Canada. Very cool!

I have been to Toronto a few times and just love roaming around the downtown area. The architecture is beautiful in parts and the city has a great vibe.

Thank you for showing off my hometown in such a glorious manner! It's so easy for me to become blasÃ© about what surrounds me daily, but your perspective on our downtown core has made me realize just how lovely it really is!

Btw, the cows are bulls, and they are in what is called The Pasture, in the financial district =)

Thanks for your lovely comment, and for enlightening us about the bulls! Now it all makes sense!
