The photos of the month in Toronto for July

The photos of the month for July in Toronto show off the city in the midst of summer, from colourful costumes at Caribana to dramatic thunderstorms lighting up the sky. There's a palpable sense of heat that these images communicate, which is only fitting given the scorcher of a month we just enjoyed.

These are my picks for the top photos from the blogTO Flickr pool last month.
