Fire Over Queensville/ Sky Watch



The sun setting over Queensville (Easy Gwillimbury), Ontario

Still fields and trees, one day this beautiful setting will be covered with subdivisions. Urban sprawl, I'm afraid. York Region, of which East Gwillimbury is a part, is one of the fastest growing areas in North America.

    'SHY WATCH?" Typo? I like the shot, regardless.

    I feel a little 'shy' myself..
    Awesome shot. I hope this beautiful area is NEVER covered with cookie cutter houses. Stop them, EG!!! MB

    Glad you captured the view before the paved it over. What is it about old fences that I like so much?

    I love the way everything is in focus and well-lit - from the gorgeous orange fire in the sky to that old fence in the foreground!!!

    a shame it will be when it does occur. one of the reasons we moved to virginia was to get away from urban sprawl.

    beautiful capture.
