Mount Hope Cemetery
305 Erskine Ave, Toronto, ON

Since 1900 Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery has been a hidden gem in the heart of the city.  Driving through the back street on Erskine Avenue, filled with large family homes, my impression was one word "WOW".  I couldn't wait to park the car.  HUGE monuments standing tall up in the blue sky background surrounding a even larger stone cross that is stories tall.  I looked to the left, then to the right, then straight ahead.  I didn't know were to start taking photos.  Filled with Lots of angel, religious statues side by side and row by row.  I like the variety this cemetery has.  There are monuments, crypts, angel statues, children's section dating far back in the years.  There is lots to see here and you could spend hours looking around.  I would suggest you carry a large gig of SD memory if you are planning on taking any pictures.  Mount Hope Cemetery is a great place to explore throughout all seasons.  If you are going in Winter season, I would recommend winter boots as the snow is pretty deep and there are some hills and dips. ( I wore regular shoes, and the snow was deep and had a layer of ice on top of the snow causing scratches into my legs, snow filled shoes I had to stop every so often to get the snow out.)

I will add more photos soon.....
