TSC Photo Walk Report – Toronto Island

May 232011

An intrepid group of 4 club members recently enjoyed a great photo walk to the Toronto Island. Despite chilly winds, the walk from the Wards Island docks along the canal adjacent to Algonquin Island was quite pleasant. A few other people were encountered, but far more birds of several varieties were seen and photographed. Of equal interest were some of the early flowers, trees and other vegetation. In addition, some of the architecture of the island was of interest as was the ubiquitous CN Tower, seen from some unusual points of view.

Upon our return to the dock where we planned to make sunset skyline photos, we once again encountered an odd fellow who had introduced himself to us at the Toronto dock side while we awaited the ferry to the island. One of our members, Annelies, took the opportunity to photograph him, and so did I as he proceeded to light a bonfire on the beach as we departed. All in all, a fun evening out was had by all, and we capped it off with some beer and pub food at a Firkin back in the city!
