Late Afternoon Sun In A Toronto Park

(It’s a Canadian sweep of the top three! Go Canucks!)
One of our afternoons in Toronto we made it out to the cool neighbourhood where Andrew H and Janice live. We went for a wander through a big park that was right nearby, and as the sun got lower in the sky the whole place became really pretty.
I just really like this photo. I like the way the lines fall, the treetrunk and the path making a cross shape, Janice and Andrew and the tree all backlit, the more sculpted garden away down the hill… Janice has her hands up because she’s just noticed that the light is great to take a photo of someone standing against the tree, a photo that was taken a minute later on someone else’s camera.
Mostly I like this photo because it brings back the feeling of that day so vividly. It’s one of the few photos I have that combines the pretty scenery with a candid photo of people, and those are two things I like, so, yeah.
Andrew H, by the way, I met on the same trip to Portugal that led to me meeting Aaron (who was in photo 8 with the Guru Josh record) and Ella (who took me to the prairies for last week’s sunflower photo). That was a good trip.

So those are my favourites. Except it’s a stupid exercise, choosing favourites. There are other photos I also like a whole bunch which didn’t make it in this list. Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed lookin’ at them. I’ve enjoyed revisiting them, that’s for sure.
