From the East Toronto sewer system. The top photo can be found in the City of Toronto Archives, and is one of two photos that helped convince us to search out a way into this system. At the time, we really weren't expecting much more than some nice old concrete (the photos are labeled as being from the 1940s, although when I first came across them they were marked as being from two and a half decades earlier). Who knew it was connected to so much interesting infrastructure?

Anyway, although normally I don't do this sort of thing, I thought it would be interesting during our last trip to try a 'now and then' type of thing; I think it turned out okay, considering I set up the composition from memory. Full disclosure: I've cropped the original a bit to match my new one. The archival photo is up top, and mine on the bottom.
