I recently went to visit the annual Winter Stations art installation in the Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto. The art designs are made overtop of lifeguard towers giving the space a purpose during the winter months.
For the main photo, I arrived just as the dun’s rays went red hot for about 5 minutes before setting. The red hot glow made a nice key light for my subject. The glow and rainbow colours in the horizon were a nice backdrop to my subject with the sand on the beach complimenting it further. This installation is called “The Beacon” by Joao Araujo Sousa and Joanna Correia Silva of Porto, Portugal.
I have included a few other images that I took while I was there.

You can check out the Winter Stations website for more info on the designs each year. This year, the event last until March 28th, 2017.
The Cheltenham Badlands is a strange geological formation located just outside Toronto. The red clay hillsides are striped with white patches making for a desirable photo shoot location. Unfortunately it is fenced off and tough to access. Check it out!
I found an old collection of 35mm photographs that I took in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 2008 and I thought I would share a couple of them. They were all taken with a 50mm on my Nikon EM.
