an accidental shot by summerfield

an accidental shot

at lunchtime, i walked down harbour street going west to the harbourfront centre. i wanted to take a picture of the CN tower with the skydome, seeing that the dome is closed and the bright sun made the roof to glisten. i didn't notice that one of those double-deckers was passing by. i was quite pissed at first, but when i saw this picture, i knew this is it for today's pic. this is from about four blocks southeast of the tower. no processing today, only the usual framing.

also some tourists saw me clicking away and three times i was asked to take a photo of them with the CN tower in the backdrop. an english couple could not quite contain themselves when they saw their "perfect" picture. they actually saw me earlier on and followed me.

beautiful day today, but it was windy enough to make me have some mild reaction to the elements.
I like your picture of our CN Tower and the red double decker look great in this street shot.

Very nice- love the tree branch frame and the bicyclists. Great pop of red also. Sometimes the "oops" shots are the best.
