the ismaili centre toronto

the ismaili centre toronto shares the formal garden and park with the aga khan museum. here the centre is reflected in one of the many water pools in the mid-morning sun.

the inside is vast but simple in furnishing. we were not allowed to take photos in the prayer room which was roomy and bright thanks to that glass dome. unlike in other mosques, the ismaili's pray together, the men on one side of the room and the women in the other; no separate entrances either.

i woke up this morning voiceless. i can't even squeak! although i managed to walk my usual route, it was also with great difficulty as i could feel the tension in my knee. if i keep on walking, i am fine. once i sit down then getting up is a problem. i'm walking around with a cane, just like her majesty the queen. perhaps tomorrow when i go for my walk, i will bring the cane.

my doctor cannot attend to me until next week. either i'm well by then or i'm dead. all i need is a prescription for my sinus infection and perhaps an x-ray of the old knee. and that 'attend' means she will call me to determine if i need to go to her clinic so she could see me. just ridiculous, if you ask me!

and i continue to be negative.

What a stunning half-and-half photo. Magnificent job of getting it just right.

Sorry to hear about all your medical issues. I hope they are all cleared up soon for you.

[Lou Ann]

Getting medical care in a timely fashion is not possible now! I do hope you are better soon. Maybe ice the knee? This is an interesting building.

The reflection of that simple modern building in the pond or lake is beautiful. Hope you feel better soon. Sounds like allergies. Are you wearing your mask? If not it might be helpful to filter out some of the springtime pollen and mold when you are out walking.

Feel better! crazy that you need to wait that long to see the doc. This is a great shot , unique shape building and love the reflection.

Oh I do hope you feel better and things are more positive soon,
This is a wonderful half/half - I love the colour and reflection

[Maggiemae]

Its obviously a mosque with that name! I find that if I have something wrong and i make an appointment with the doctor, I am remarkably cured by the time I see him! I have learnt that if you say it is interfering with your sleep, they make an effort to see you as fast as they can!

Beautiful shot and we trust you will feel better soon

[Diana]

[Susan Wakely]

Interesting shaped building and great reflection.

[Renee Salamon]

How beautiful- they have a very interesting building in the centre of London too. I should go and photograph it soon

[summerfield]

@rensala - oh, yes, please. i should like very much to see it.

[Ingrid]

What an amazing reflection! Hope you feel better soon!

Fav worthy! Hoping that you get the medication you need for your sinuses and that your knee will behave…….maybe not so bad to let her take a look at it or have a x-ray.
But strange you have to wait so long. Wishing you well.
