Nuit Blanche 2011 Toronto photos
Nuit Blanche photos from the 2011 Toronto event have been pouring into the blogTO Flickr pool since the wee hours of the morning. And because it's pretty much impossible to see everything good that there is to see, a crucial part of the all-night art experience is having a look at what the photographers were able to do with all the exhibits the next day.
Call it a debriefing. Call it closure. Either way, I don't feel Nuit Blanche is over until I've had a lengthy perusal of the photos and videos from the event. Over the course of the day, we expect that many more photos will be uploaded to our pool, so this is just a first sample which includes some of the work blogTO shooters did last night. We'll update as more images become available. Add your shots to our Flickr group (link above) if you'd like to be featured!

Were there any Rob Ford sightings? He couldn't have been happy: road closures, people riding bikes and taking the TTC, and all that gravy that went to an Arts event.
Seemed like even more drunk/high people this year but overall I enjoyed it. Too bad it wasn't a bit warmer but maybe that kept the crowds down too. I didn't get over to Queen West at all this year but can only imagine the crowds in that area.
This man Rob Ford has such a fat ass mentality that he doesnt even want to see other people biking as he drives by them... Face it the more people and building is going to also equal more cars in this current retarded city design.
They should tax the people who have cars to provide money to build subways. Have busses on all streets all night every 10 mins. Make spaces for people to put large items on the busses and subways.A car is just device that gets you and your stuff from one place to another. Have an efficent transit system and people won't have to wait and endless traffic jams or squish into packted transit system.
Another problem is the pot issue. Name one person who died as a direct result of ingesting pot. Not one, this plant hurst no one. This stupid law is causig more crime then it solving. Ive seen studies that can argue humans got there creativity from having this pan at early stages in our evolution. Basically even if you don't like it, thats not you business what productive members o society want to do with there time and money. And legit farmers being treat this way. It's so stupid.
Anyways it my opinion this city is missing a vibe or sprite that other places seem to have. Maybe it's our addiction to comfort("I need my own personal car"..as he sits in traffic) maybe it's our tendency to allow ourselves to be treated like children(only lcbo can sell alcohol till 11 and you can't but booze anther after 230..thanks mom)But what ever it is this place is so lame.
We need more outdoor activites maybe the city should go around and put bouldering rocks around the city, or turn bike lanes into maintained cross country trails in winter.
One last thing stop building subburbs everywhere, there crap to live in, inifecient for trafic and stupid by design. You would think by now there would be a system of tubes and pipes for garbage, mail and many other things. It seems so stupid to have a mail person or garbage person come to every single house every single week. If the tube just took the garbage to a more central place there wouldnt be need for as many trucks. Subdivisions with those tiny man made parks are an insult to our Canadian heritage of nature and the great outdoors
