Three Things I’m Curious About This Week #4

  1. These photos of Queen Street in Toronto by David Kaufman, which really capture the intersection of historic and modern architecture.

2. This essay about the Canadian prairies by Alanna Mitchell, which so perfectly mirrors my own feelings and experiences that I wish I’d written it.

3. The bare-throated bellbird (Procnias nudicollis), a funny looking bird from Brazil that makes a sound so loud it can cause hearing damage at close range.
