Riverdale Farm outdoor tree. Municipal farm tree category. If there’s a manger in Toronto it’s here, on what was once the very edge of the city above the Don Valley. Extra points for getting to the top + droopy light string style. Some trees are tight, other are loose. 13/10

Girl in a black headscarf.' In the 1870s, Wilhelm Leibl moved to the Bavarian countryside to paint villagers as he saw them, work that was greatly admired by Gustave Courbet. 'I paint human beings as they are, so the soul is there.'
