The Untouched
People got a little riled with all my camera antics on the vacation. Most of the family that was around couldn't comprehend why i was so obsessed with my Canon powershot (AS710). In the 12 days that i stayed in Toronto, i clicked close to about 1100 photographs...staggering you might think....it took a cousin to put matters into perspective - 'he lives by the camera'...for some of those days, i actually did
below are some pics that did not make it to the facebook and web albums...random shots...some which were noticed, some which werent by those who saw them
The name of the park was 'Maddil Common'. It was nearby the house where i was putting up...and on a quiet Friday evening (yes it was about 6 when i went there) it was absolutely desolate....quiet, windy and desolate
I took a myriad pictures from the top of the CN tower...this one was perhaps the best...447m above the ground (apprx 114 storeys)...it captures the skyline, the shadow of the clouds, a city strechting itself limitlessly and half clear half filled sky...
Taken from the 22nd floor apartment balcony, it isnt the cleanest picture...the balcony railings intrude in a significant part of it...but dnt make a mistake, the light is not camera induced sepia but natural...there was a slight drizzle and a setting sun when i took this snap...and the interplay of water (notice the drops on the glass of the railing) and light was something that i could not get on any other evening...
A picture that can almost pass off for a painting...a view of the east bank of the ottawa river from the river cruise boat
A quiet patch of woods....on the river bank of the ottawa river...
This is how small some of the islands actually were on the 'thousand islands' cruise that happens in a small town called Gananoque on the shore of Lake Ontario
The serenity of the lake front at Gananoque was only matched by that of the town itself....
In the background is the Canadian parliament house....as seen from behind a fountain at the ottawa museum
And finally the national symbol...the maple leaf...just beginning to dry from the summer
