The term urban exploration is defined as the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins or not usually seen components of the man-made environment. Definitions tend to sound too boring, but the growing popularity of this hobby proves that the idea behind the words is actually very exciting. Many adventurous photographers consider it a new means of artistic expression enabling them to offer the public the shadowy and dusty face of cities as a contrast to their shiny surface. Other explorers do it for the sake of historical documentation, and there are even such people who do it merely for fun. The set of photographs I'd like to share with you reveals some of Toronto's concealed urban gems. If you decide to give urban exploration a try, please bear in mind that this activity can be quite dangerous, if you neglect proper preparation. Moreover, it may be considered trespassing in certain cases.
