Super-excited am I. Yes, I am. Winter is coming.
As much as I grumble about terrible driving conditions, blustery winds, sleet and ice during our Toronto (Canada) winters, I find the coldest season of the year very beautiful. Especially in The Beaches neighbourhood, where yours truly currently resides. For the urbanites out there, there is actually life east of Yonge Street and south of Eglington Avenue. Get with the program already (yes, this may be a gentle poke in the ribs to those who think the 15 minute drive from downtown is too long).
The Beaches is an amazing oasis. Great community of people, local retailers and small businesses. And an ever-expanding roster of restaurants and cafés, too.
The images in the above slideshow are my first foray into nature photography. They were captured during a snowstorm on the beach and boardwalk. Yes, it was cold. Yes, I had to protect my camera gear from the elements while shooting. And yes, my hands were pretty darn cold at times. BUT, you would never think these scenes are from Toronto’s waterfront. Winter in The Beaches is spectacular (or the BEACH, for those who choose to be politically correct).
I’m really excited to offer these images as part of the Image Archive. These Winter Series photographs are great for Holiday Season Greeting Cards, fine-art canvases, custom prints and editorial use, just to mention a few uses. Simply click on the image you’re interested in to see all the options available. If you can’t see the slideshow, click here to be taken directly to the Winter Series Gallery. I’m planning to make the Winter Series an ongoing project, so check in occasionally to see more.
Thanks for reading.
