Liberty Village Toronto | Your Online Neighbourhood Guide

The Blog

Everyone now has the power to capture still objects, landscapes, and portraits with a piece of  technology that we hold in our hands —smartphones. In fact, your phone might  be capable of delivering photos and videos with the same quality as the camera in your kit bag. 

Social media platforms allow us to view a range of places from anywhere around the world, and Instagram is one of these go-to apps.  In addition to pictures, Instagram has expanded over the years to enable access to longer video content and even live  streaming.

Liberty Village on Instagram

Any place can be geo-tagged on Instagram, and Liberty Village is no exception! Whether you are new to the area or planning to move, it is always  nice to check out the photos shared by locals and tourists. Here are our favourites:

King-Liberty Pedestrian/Cycle Bridge

Railroad Shots

Railroads are a subject of many photographers around the world, and you can find active tracks on Liberty Village! Before we show you our favourite still images, please be advised that taking  photos of railroads can be dangerous—especially when there is a commuter train involved.
