This photo was taken on at Sunnyside beach in the west end of Toronto. I zoomed in to get this shot. Not sure how much, maybe 4x zoom or something. The buildings in the background are also a part of Toronto but in the suburban sense. I was attracted to the daylight and cloud cover, and that white bridge. I think it crosses the Humber River, but I could be mistaken. The water in the foreground is Lake Ontario.

So I’m off to a buddy’s to watch the Superbowl and down a nice steak dinner. Should be fun. I don’t follow football but I do enjoy a good piece of cow.

Well, actually, City Hall (better known as Silly Hall by anyone paying taxes here) is behind me in this photo. This is the large skating rink in front of City Hall. I haven’t skated on it since I was a kid. Mauro and I took a number of photographs of the grounds during our outing a couple of weeks back. I was lucky with this one since the little kid was walking by just as I snapped the shot.

Note: I’ve been thinking about how I post my photos. Typically there is no rhyme or reason to it. I just upload a photo whenever I feel like it and have time. But I’m thinking to upload only three photos a day – in the morning, afternoon, and evening. That way there will always be two days worth of photos on the main page. I might upload a forth around bedtime, if I happen to feel like it. But maybe I’m over thinking this. I don’t know. Does anyone else have a schedule for posting photos to their blog?

Came across this doorway on Queen St. W. during my outing with Mauro a couple of weeks back. Queen West is chockablock with odd looking storefronts and entryways. Hope you like it. Happy Sunday and Happy Superbowl.

This is a set of photos merged together to make one large panoramic photo showing the sun setting over Mt Karioi and the ocean through to the Whaingaroa Harbor mouth – what a beautiful place we call home!

This photo began life as a shot of a tall building downtown. But I got to thinking it looked a lot like some of my other tall building shots and I wanted to try something different. So I cropped the shot pretty substantially in order to turn it into more of an abstract photo. I really wasn’t holding much hope of it coming to much, but I have to say, I’m really surprised and happy with the results. I feel the photo now has a sense of power that it never had in its first incarnation. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I usually have to do a lot of lens correction to get my buildings to stand up straight, but for some reason this one worked out pretty good straight out of the camera. This is another photo from the roof of the parking garage in Yorkville.
