Fall colours are a dazzle of blazing defiance, before the long, quiet sleep.

Light and Metal
I liked the stark morning light on this railing in High Park yesterday morning.

Back to the Hasselblad
On Sunday morning I picked up my Hasselblad from the shop and shot a quick test roll in High Park. This was my favourite shot of the day.

Roots
I loved the look of these roots in High Park. Almost like steps going up a slight incline.

High Park Solitude
This spot in High Park (specifically the bridge) has to be one of the most popular wedding photography spots in the city, but I like the look of it when there are no people in frame, like on a hazy day recently.

Deeper Than Any Forest Primeval
I guess I’m an old softie at heart: one of my favourite love songs is “Longer” by Dan Fogelberg. As I was out yesterday morning in High Park in the forest path near Keele Station, the dim light from the morning overcast and the silence reminded me of a line from the song:
“Deeper than any forest primeval, I am in love with you.”
The forest did feel very deep and moody yesterday, and these three images for me capture the mood. All were created using my Nikon N90s 35mm SLR, 17mm/3.5 Tamron Ultra-wide angle lens, shot on Rollei RPX400 film, developed in Perceptol.
Another Day, Another Tree
Again from High Park in Toronto.

By the Shore
I believe these are birdhouses by the shores of the pond in High Park, but part of me can’t help imagining they are letter boxes, with the letter carrier delivering mail by canoe. 🙂

A Tree With Character
I don’t know what caused the growth pattern on this tree in High Park, but it’s fascinating!
