I took this fog shrouded photo of Ontario Place, back in 2009. This was "futuristic" architecture when it opened on Toronto's waterfront in 1971. I recall seeing early IMAX-style movies there at the Cinesphere, and have seen many a concert on the property. #photography #architecture #toronto #foggy

Being of the cloud-appreciating persuasion, I hereby share another of my probably too many cloud photos. This one stood alone in its presence. Highly textured, dynamic, subtly ominous, and preserved via camera; a vastly superior invention than firearms. #photography #clouds #coolclouds #skyphotos

The vast hectares of Ontario farmland are filled with ghostly reminders of temporary human experiences that are a time pittance when compared to the ancient land where these homes are built, families are raised, seasons cycle, and dudes like yours truly go on too long via captions. #photography #old

Toronto is the city I left for a quieter life, but it does compare well to many big North American cities. Lake Ontario helps, as do the recreational trails and an urban forest. Here I share some sky devouring ongoing construction. I can see horizons now, and am happy. #photography #toronto #cities

I don't post my photographs in accordance with the current time of year, because I like my freedom wherever I can find it, yes? So, Good Morning and Happy Weekend, with a Niagara Escarpment Autumn view. Have a fine Saturday, folks! #photography #trees #autumn #fallcolors #ontario #canada #colorful

"The Old Shop", it says on this 1904 rural Ontario flashback gem. With a frisson of poignancy, we see not only Canada's flag but a Statue of Liberty here. I will spare you my anger, frustration, and resolve. Just know that my country is its own special place, not for the taking. #photography #canada

If sky porn is a hashtag, this is the money shot. (Orchestra crescendo, head thrown back, hands to the sky, etcetera) #photography #skyporn #sunrays #skyphotos #sunshine

Certain parts of rural Ontario are experimenting with giant marshmallow crops. The flavor is rumored to be out of this world, and just one can --- okay, I'm full of shit here. These are not marshmallows. Let me tell you about giant earplugs. #photography #farmland #rural #ontario #canada #harvest

Hey hey, good morning to the Bluesky nation(s)... we are currently flying, safely because we are birds, in the direction of an upcoming weekend. This Friday is your Friday to make the best of. #photography #birds #birdsinflight #canadageese #birdflocks #flight #flying #birdphotos #blueskyphotography
