During the recent travel blogger conference (TBEX) in Toronto, I attended an after-party on Centre Island, one of the Toronto Islands. On the short ferry ride to get out to the chain islands out in Lake Ontario, it became apparent that I was going to be giving the beautiful and expansive skyline lots of eyeball time.
I was one of the first people to the party at Shopsy’s so I headed to the table closest to the water and started firing away,…
…capturing the skyline which was in the background to the beautiful greenery right in front of me.
There the CN Tower sits front and center with the neighboring white-domed Rogers Centre along for the ride.
Do you see the plane that’s about to land at nearby Toronto Island Airport?
It was getting later in the evening so each shot brought a little more darkness.
More and more people were bringing their conversations and fun out onto the outside decks getting their smart phones and cameras ready. Some people had their umbrellas out as it was raining lightly, but that wasn’t going to stop the skyline photo madness. 🙂
It’s wasn’t just the tower that was front and center. At times, the sky was lighting up perfectly behind it.
I grabbed a couple of more shots from along the railing…
…and before you knew it, the city lights were starting to come on in the distance.
There she sits, all it up and the CN Tower is standing tall. I loved how the colors reflected off the night waters of Lake Ontario.
The ferry ride back concluded the Toronto city photo madness. 🙂
It was a night of fun and a million skyline looks. Each one seemed better than the next. We docked and I was once again within all the buildings that I spent a lot of the evening capturing.
What skyline or other scenes have you just clicked your camera over-and-over again from daylight to night?
That was a fun night…thanks for the digital portrait a la Monet.
Great times, great people! No problem glad you like. 🙂
Love taking these kind of photos. Yours are BEAUTIFUL! I’ve taking the skyline of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C. and New York City. Thanks for sharing.
NE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you! Can’t seem to put the camera down when the Pittsburgh skyline is in view either.
Hey! I’m on your fotos 😀
And I took tons of photos of the skyline of Toronto too. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Very cool Romy! Which one are you? No problem, glad you liked. I don’t know what it is about skylines and water together. 🙂
The contrasts in each skyline photo were great, Aaron! 🙂
Thank you Samantha! I was getting more-and-more excited with each shot. 🙂
When did you find time to take all the photos? hehe… I love Toronto’s skyline and can’t believe it took me so long to hop over to the islands.
I couldn’t seem to put the camera down haha. First time at the islands as well. Will definitely return.
Awesome photos, just awesome! I’m not a photographer, can’t even pretend to be. LOL, So….I really enjoy your pictures! Great work!
Thank you so much! A beautiful spot. The scenes in front of me do a lot of the work too. 🙂
London from the Thames (while on a cruise/tour thing) – I was on deck with a camera for, well most of it really, but especially the late avo to night transition.
A beautiful river to be on. You must have got some breathtaking shots!
Such a beautiful skyline!
Yes indeed! Always though it was beautiful, but seeing it from this vantage point makes me think even more of it. 🙂
Wonderful photo essay. Great that you took the time to do this. The photo with the plane landing is especially cool.
Thanks Ted! It was great being able to enjoy the party and all the people while seeing and capturing great TO views.
