Toronto Photo Walks: Hair of the Dog II

Well, after a boisterous New Years Eve a walk was needed to shake the cob webs out for the start of the New Year. Thus I found myself down at Sunnyside Pavillion for the the annual Toronto Polar Bear Dip. The weather was similar to last year. Mild and rainy. Well the rain was more driving then usual. I stuck around long enough for the bodies to get in and out of the water then I boogied to the first pub stop. Same route and plan as last year. It was a decent crowd that showed up too.
I was thinking of adding some video I shot to this post. Unfortunately it's going to have to wait till next week. Have a good weekend folks.

Well, all the people were ready and gathered. The piper played them onto the beach, the countdown was started, and there was a rush into then out of the water.














So thus ended the Polar Bear Dip. A few shots of the mist and environments and we wandered off in search of an open pub.

Toronto Photo Walks: Polar Bear Dip/Hair of the Dog

Good morning everyone. It's a new year with lots of promise and tons of plans. This past weekend though was the end of the holiday season and we decided to celebrate it with watching the crazy people jump in the lake and then go on a pub crawl. The Polar Bear Dip this year was a little disappointing. It was warm, raining, and misty. Mind you though, the mist and rain did create opportunities for some moody photos. At least the dippers were still enthusiastic about the start of their year.
