to take this photo, i had to get off the car and stand on the side of wynford drive about 20 kilometers from the downtown core (almost became road kill as i think i accidentally stepped off the curb onto the road whilst a truck was passing). and there it is, the CN tower; can be seen for miles and miles away. no processing here, just the usual framing.
it could've easily been a hot muggy day but for some wind. tomorrow, they're calling for thunderstorms. CN tower in the rain? we'll see. the tip of the tower though catches a lot of lightning.
nice framing, I like the muted blue tone of the city buildings and the tower. Would love to see it hit by lightning, but that would be a very lucky shot :)
@gailreese - thank you, gail. i'll find you a picture of it being hit by lightning but not one taken by me. hahaha. @jannkc - hahaha! funny, jann. really funny! i can stand in the rain, but i wouldn't let my camera get wet. thank you. @roth - thanks, sue. been lucky so far without the smog. i hope the smog doesn't happen in june while i'm doing this project.
@gbert204955 - no, i won't. i just got so excited when i saw the view as i didn't expect i could see the tower with such details from that distance. thank you, gilbert.
roadkill, potential lightning strikes -- girl, you are just too dedicated!! But how we love your shots! This one is great!! How are you going to continue to top yet another cool shot??
@cscecil - well, i'm thinking of scaling the tower....kidding! i don't know, i'm thinking i'd get a roll of film, load the old minolta and lug the tripod and the telephoto lens and then drive to niagara falls, stand on the highest spot i could find and point across the lake to toronto and take a shot. or i could just do a night shot maybe. hehehe. thanks, CS.
Geez, Louise. Be careful out there! Not an easy spot to stop and take pics from. Love your dedication but would rather see you alive. Great shot, though!
@slang - louise summerfield. why, that's a nice name. but not for me. no worries though. dedication? nah, just want to impress you, people, with my shots. :-) thank you, sean.
