Cityscape/Weekend reflections

Toronto seen from Humber Bay Park East

I like the juxtaposition here. Toronto is growing taller but parts of Humber Bay Park are staying wild and wonderful. But as you can see, city reflections are encroaching on the park.

    Cities are like cornfields except that cornfields can be harvested once every year and then you can begin again.

    Fantastic cityscape, reflection and nature shot all wrapped into one. Oh, and the sky - gracious! You really hit the jackpot with this photo.

    I do like the juxtaposition of city and wilderness. Let's hope only the occasional reflection encroaches on that natural bit of park.

    Urban life on EG's blog! That is rare. But, she turns out to be as adept with urban images as rural images.

    It looks like a painting EG, beautiful! I remember having a short visit a few years back in Toronto as we were heading home from Watertown NY when our son got out of the Army.

    It is good that you can still see the wildness of nature despite the encroaching city boundaries. A great reflective picture in more ways than one.

    It really does look like a painting. I took a lot of shots at Humber Bay West this week.

    Love the effect of the glossy skyline with the soft bushes on the foreground.

    Love the way this is so different than your usual photos, and yet so much the same.
