The Great Canadian Photo Walk II Part 6

Okay, I know I missed last week. Wasn't feeling that good over all and was barely able to just focus on work. I will finish off the GCPWII and carry on with other stuff tomorrow.


So, one of the things we wanted to do was take shots of the moon rising over the lake. I got some decent shots, but nothing really spectcular. Going to have to work on that. Afterwards some went to the usual spot to take long exposure shots of the city skyline while a few of us decided to call it a day and head home. It was a long day and we had lots of fun renewing acquaintances and friendships.

We headed back to the main island. Looking for refreshment and gathering up our tripods. Later we were planning on shooting the moon rise after sunset. First though, rest and refreshment.

Whenever I am on the Islands, I seem to end up at the pier eventually. The pier is in the center of the park lands and juts out further south from the city. Nothing to see but lake horizon to the south and if the air is clear, Hamilton to the west. In the summer it can be a busy place, both lake and pier. This day did not disappoint.







Of course we couldn't miss the Lake Light. An old lighthouse on the Islands that is no longer in use. While we were there we saw a small group of people being taken on a private tour. Apparently if you catch the guardian of the light house, and his schedule is free, he might take you inside. Or so I have been told.

Toronto Islands may appear to be small, but they are packed with so much to see. Great views of the Toronto skyline, wild life, nature and trees. Not to mention pockets of sights here and there that will have you looking for more of them. One reason why I try to go there at least once a year in the spring or summer. Perhaps I should take the time and go there in the winter to see the sights then.
