The first day of each month is a theme day for City Daily Photo, and for April that theme is My Favourite Toy. See how others are taking on this theme here.
In the Rideau Centre mall downtown there's a Lego store, selling everything from the basics to some highly customized kits.
This Lord of the Rings set is the sort of thing you'd put together and then have in a display case, featuring Lothlorien, a kingdom of elves, featuring prominently in the first book and movie.
This chalet appealed to me. A friend and colleague bought a Lego Titanic last year. I've told him that Lego needs to release four versions: the one he has, the version with it hitting a Lego iceberg, another version with the ship splitting in half with hundreds of Lego people in the water, and a final version with the wreckage and debris field at the bottom of the ocean.
Here we have the Iron Man Hulkbuster armor, in Lego form.
Another one that suited me nicely.
This Star Wars Lego set is from The Mandalorian series.
This one intrigues me: a Lego Colosseum.
Or a lighthouse.
Or for you gardeners out there, these two.
Here we have Lego of the Harry Potter world.
More Star Wars. From the size of the kits, these are the sort that kids can put together and take apart over and over again.
With this- the Millennium Falcon- once you've got it together, you'd want to keep it together.
The same thing with Batman's Tumbler, as seen from the Dark Knight trilogy by Christopher Nolan.
Not Lego, but also something for passing the day away- jigsaw puzzles in the front window of a store in the Byward Market.
And lastly, since I'd spent time photographing in that Lego store, I felt compelled to buy something. And so I bought a couple of Lego keychains- Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore. I can relate a lot to Eeyore.
