Greetings from Toronto on this #PortfolioDay!

My name is Blair and I'm a photographer of urban, rural and minimalist subjects with a particular interest in the unappreciated beauty of public transportation.

Some sunsets are so beautiful that you have to stop and snap a picture!

Nature is painting the sky and the clouds in the most opulent colors of orange, pink, yellow and grapefruit for sunset. In between there are the last remaining shades of the blue evening sky. On the horizon there are the silhouettes of an electric pole on the right side, then some trees in the middle and some windmills on the left side followed by another electric pole. In the foreground there’s a rural road making a turn to the left that’s flanked by green fields in the dark. The color of the vibrant sky paints hues of soft pink on the road.

I can't be-leaf the amazing re-leaf I get from a beautiful cascade of fall leaves. 😏

I saw a merganser near here on the riverside, and a redtail hawk at another time. Riverwood Conservancy, Mississauga, Ontario. 🍂🍃🌿🥬🍁

The image depicts a retaining wall constructed from large, rough-hewn stone blocks, arranged in a tiered, stepped fashion. Vibrant fall foliage, primarily in shades of brilliant red and some green, cascades over and around the stone blocks, creating a striking contrast against the grey of the wall. A few tree branches with green leaves are visible at the top, extending over the scene, while hints of a path or ground are visible at the bottom of the wall.

It was one of these of very pinky magical sunsets - view from my window, Brussels

The image shows a striking sunset scene. The sky is a mix of deep blue and vibrant pink hues, with the clouds catching the light of the setting sun, creating a soft, textured appearance. In the foreground, there are silhouetted trees with bare branches, adding depth and contrast to the image. In the distance, a church spire can be seen. The overall mood is tranquil and evocative.

#Cycling #BikeTO #Photography

Photo of a red BMC Roadmachine road bike leaning against a large rock near a shoreline. There is a strip of black asphalt that is curving around the spot where the bike is in the shape of a checkmark. The bike is resting on a patch of smooth beach stones. Behind the bike is a sandy beach that is being kissed by calm waters. above the water is an overcast sky with a little bit of sunlight peeking through.

The right half of the image is a church and steeple, taken looking up from street level. Behind its classis architecture is a background of early fall sky with soft clouds standing out against it.

Green door what's that secret
you're keepin'?
Wish they'd let me in so
I could find out what's
behind the green door
All I want to do is join
the happy crowd
behind the green door

Shakin' Stevens, 20th century

#Photography #Poetry #SpeirGorm #India #ImageAndVerse #ArtOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin

Steps lead up to a two-toned green door with six panels set into a cream-painted wall. Overhead are two horizontal barred windows with green shutters, to the left is a vertical window with white embedded bars, and there is also a green-painted grille on the overhanging roof. Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.
