Toronto/Sky Watch

Sky over Toronto as seen from the Don Valley Parkway

The Don Valley Parkway (aka DVP or affectionately the Don Valley Parking Lot as the traffic sometimes often moves very, very slowly) is a north-south highway that goes between Toronto and (after it magically transforms into Hwy 404 without most drivers even noticing) East Gwillimbury.

    Ah yes... I already know this parking lot. The sky is beautiful. I need to get out and shoot more. Wish it would warm up!

    Would you ever like to meet up in Toronto or elsewhere? I am not working at the moment and have loads of free time for photographing!

    If you had this view it would distract you a little from the pain of sitting in that Parking Lot.

    A soft and lovely sky!
    With its dusty pink sky and golden horizon it would look more at home over the prairie than Toronto. :)

    I know this parking lot! You've captured a very "industrial" looking sky over Hogtown, yet poignant.

    Another impressive sunset. It's all a matter of being at the right place at the right time to get those marvellous sunset pictures. I always seem to be in the WRONG place.....

    Sounds a lot like Los Angeles freeways. Can't say I miss those at all. A traffic jam during the mill shift lasts about five minutes and is easily avoided. - Margy

    We have parking lots like that here, too. More so in Orlando and Miami but on occasion even in Ocala. Just ask some of the thousands of good folks of Ontario who visit here each winter. (I've seen lots of Ontario cars in Ocala this year!)

    Nice sunset, too! A golden glow.
