A composite #Moonrise over #Toronto last Wednesday. The Moon is shown over about a 15 minute span with almost 3 minutes between each copy of the Moon. I found it interesting for the color shifted during the rise.

Nightscape of Toronto and the CN Tower. It's a composite image showing the Moon at 6 different elevations, including one aligned with the CN Tower. The buildings were photographed blue hour and still have the golden glow of the Sun reflecting of them.

Fall colors in #ArrowheadProvincialPark

A couple in a red canoe parking on a lake are on the right. In the background and reflect over the lake are the beautiful fall colors of the trees.

#Sunrise at #TorrenceBarrens

Sunrise over a peaceful small lake surrounded by trees. A single line of clouds is in the sky and reflected perfectly on the calm lake. The Sun is just breaking over the trees and lines can be seen radiating from it. This can also be seen reflected on the lake.

Came by this connection of the T-birds from the early 60's. This guy clearly has a theme...

This thing always made me think style the design from The Lost in Space Chariot.

Not that it's anything close, but what popped into my head was the image John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls Royce

I like that b&w one of the sign. The color one seems confusing to the eye, so I think it was an excellent decision with the crop and the B&W treatment.

I've always loved the look a TR6. And they still look good today!

#Sunrise over #CedarPoint Amusement Park from Sandusky Bay (Ohio). Unfortunately it was very humid and it was difficult to get a clearer shot. This was also shot with a wider angle lens than I had planned. I expected no Sun so I put my long lens away...

A sunrise where only two thirds of the sun is up. It's behind a peninsula with an amusement park on it with many roller coasters in silhouette. The Sun is also reflected into the waters of the bay.

While in Barcelona I saw some paintings by Guillermo Lorca at the Moco that were both fascinating and disturbing as in this image from a postcard I bought. This picture wasn't shown, but I did go back to the exhibit several times in my stay. The tension there....

#Caturday #cats ?
#MuseumArt

The image is of a large leopard sitting above a girl in bed and licking the top of her head. While this would be completely innocent if it were a house cat, and it looks like the leopard is being friendly, there's serious tension in the scene.

The #MilkyWay from the northern coast of #LakeErie from the backyard of a friend. The light pollution on the left is from Duncan, NY. The lighting of the foreground is from his neighbors yard lights which they always leave on.

The Milky Way framed by two trees and a lot. There are some large rocks on the shoreline as well. A flag is also visible near the MW core.

Reminds me of this guy...

We don't get good sunsets like that often here, but it really was a good night and what you are seeing was it looked like. And I didn't mess with that picture. It was actually 3 shots at different exposures and then HDR merged.

Sadly, I got nailed last week....

A deep orange sunset on the horizon reflected into a lake. Trees and vegetation surround the lake and are in silhouette.

An orange sky reflected into a lake after sunset. The sky is orange on the horizon and blue high above. Wispy clouds are in the sky as well. In the foreground is vegetation and a man sitting on the left in a camp chair enjoying the view.

A picture of the #Toronto #Skyline just past sunset from inside the Snowy Owl at the new #BiidaasigePark in the Donlands. In the near field is a play area.
