sunset over toronto

beautiful day yesterday, saturday. and we had a gorgeous sunset that yet again eluded me. it had in fact set when i arrived at the football field. but i came prepared, with tripod and the little crystal ball. the little dots you see are grown ups sledding on the slopes going down the football field.

big contrast today, windy, cloudy, damp and cold. and the actual temperature is in the plus yet it feels like minus ten or thereabouts. i'm tired of this cold. summer already, please!

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that i appreciate them greatly.
Good shot. Ive got a glass ball on order. Looking forward to the fun it will bring

Cool shot! I have to figure out a clear base for mine. It's got a little wooden one but it ruins the shot!
March 10th, 2014  
How gorgeous. Yes, after lent:). Totally agree. That's why I hadn't yet.
March 10th, 2014  
awesome shot
March 10th, 2014  
Very clever to get this scene in - wonder how you held the crystal ball? Not in your teeth, I would imagine!
March 10th, 2014  
@777margo - oh, you will have fun, for sure! thank you for stopping by.

@olivetreeann - this one came with a clear base. if i find something that would do the trick, i'll save it for sure for you. i'm pretty sure our meeting will happen this year. :-) thank you, ann.

@amandal - thank you, kiddo. good planning.

@abhijit - thank you, ab.

@maggiemae - can't hold anything with my denture. :-D no, I placed the base and the ball on my tripod. thank you, maggiemae.

@summerfield Much appreciated! I will keep my eyes open for one too. Yes- I'm not sure when Diana will finish up with my father's outstanding debts but as soon as she does... Canada here I come!

I love your crystal ball shots, great photo, gorgeous sky!
March 10th, 2014  
Amazing colours and gorgeous scene. I must get my ball out and use it more!
March 10th, 2014  
@olivetreeann - yes, i think we had a discussion with mary beth about a meet up in niagara falls, but if that doesn't happen, you know i haven't seen the falls from the american side and my passport is still good for another 2 years and I can always walk to the other side.

@deburahiru - thank you, deb.

@salemslot -thank you, paul.

@678tabby - thank you, june.

@salza - thank you, sally. i am guilty of not using it much also. maybe we should have a week of crystal ball shots. @olivetreeann :-)

So clever. Nice sunset on the ball.

@summerfield No matter what, I need to renew my passport and keep it current this time. As for the crystal ball- I must first do my primary/secondary color challenge that you "unofficially get-pushed" me back with- but that sounds like it might be a fun week!
March 11th, 2014  
@summerfield definitely something to think about. I do need some motivation at the moment to get the creative juices flowing
March 11th, 2014  
@olivetreeann @salza - and of course there's the technique challenge being hosted by @northy which is to do with 'refractions'. http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21576/technique-challenge-22-refractions
March 11th, 2014  
@summerfield I just read about the challenge. I guess we are really being informed that we should give the crystal balls some attention!
March 11th, 2014  
These things seem to be so much fun....definitely need to get one! Not sure if it would expand or contract my world!
March 11th, 2014  
fav, fav, fav
March 11th, 2014  
this is beautiful!
March 12th, 2014  
@panthora - i got mine from amazon for less than $20 canadian. you should get yours, it's fun to use it at the beach especially for sunsets. thank you, osia.

@axika - thanks! thanks! :-) thank you, alexandra.

@northy - thank you, kiddo. when do we go for our photo trek??
March 12th, 2014  
@summerfield once the ice melts for good? where shall we go next?
March 12th, 2014  
@northy - i don't know yet. but if i win the jackpot tomorrow night, we're going to pago-pago! wherever that is. :-) or the maldives! or buffalo. :-P seriously, weren't we thinking with christine going around the escarpment in the peninsula?
March 12th, 2014  
@summerfield i'm game - but not until we have some serious spring happening! in the meantime, i'd love to find another locale like casa loma for some more long exposure play...
March 12th, 2014  
@northy - you want to go back there?
March 12th, 2014  
@summerfield - or a church, maybe?
March 12th, 2014  
@summerfield oh - a church would be cool.. or maybe UofT?
March 12th, 2014  
@northy - now we're talkin', kiddo!
March 12th, 2014  
Wonderful,
March 12th, 2014
