I spent a large portion of my life in downtown Toronto, where people from myriad backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles share time and space. Peace is much more than a symbol, and I always wished it upon the millions who surrounded me. When it works, it's a beautiful thing. #streetphotography #canada

Also from my Toronto archives, when the skyline hadn't yet mushroomed helter skelter, a monochrome 10 second exposure taken from Toronto Island. Goodnight, awesome Bluesky. #photography #blueskyphotography #toronto #cities #nightphotography #skylines #canada #blackandwhite #reflections #lakeontario

Hi there. Lake Huron was rowdy last Sunday, and now she's a snow storm maker this past couple of days. I hope you have a fine upcoming weekend, wherever you are. #photography #greatlakes #lakehuron #windy #nature #ontario #canada

Lake Huron as viewed from the Station Beach boardwalk in beautiful Kincardine, Ontario. This past Sunday the winds were lashing. Mighty Huron was rowdy. Starting tomorrow she's going to dump a LOT of snow on the province. #photography #lakehuron #nature #ontario #canada #weather #greatlakes

The raucous cloud giants would have been groovy enough, but those sun ray slashes made things rather breathtaking. I had to chuckle at the wind turbine and its unmoving blades. #photography #blueskyphotography #landscapes #weather #rural #farmland #ontario #canada #clouds

It was a weird weather afternoon full of shifting dynamics, so why not add scraps of seagull looking paper to the wild winds and sun stricken layers of Mother Earth? No point self editing my caption crazy, 'cause that's just lazy. #photography #landscapes #sunlight #seagullls #rural #ontario #canada

The skies were wild, with bright sunshine in combat with doom cloud movements that looked like imitation dust storms. I took so many subtly different photos, it's hard to choose even a dozen to share. For now, black and white. #photography #landscapes #rural #clouds #famrland #ontario #canada #sky
