  • The Toronto skyline lit up at night across dark, calm water, the tall tower at the centre.
    From the island docks, late evening.
  • The skyline glowing blue across the lake, a lit stadium roof on the left and dark trees at the edges.
    Blue hour from the islands.
  • A wide, low view of city lights stretched along the horizon under heavy cloud, reflected in the lake.
    Cloud coming in off the lake.
  • The tower lit red and blue at night, seen from below beside an office block, with a crescent moon.
    The tower from the street.
  • A distant skyline in blue light across a broad, dark stretch of water.
    Long exposure, the lake gone flat.
  • A small, distant skyline under a dark cloudy sky, its lights reflected in the water.
    Midnight, after the last ferry.
  • The skyline at dusk across blue water, rocks in the foreground and the tower lit red.
    Dusk from the eastern shore.
  • A tower block fading into fog at night, its lit windows disappearing upward behind bare branches.
    Fog on the last night.

I spent four nights on the Toronto waterfront, mostly on the island ferry docks, waiting for the lake to go still. The city is loud up close and almost silent from across the water.

These frames sit between blue hour and midnight, when the towers turn into lines of light and the lake doubles them. I kept to long exposures and a low horizon, so the water takes up as much of each picture as the skyline. One frame breaks the rule: a tower block disappearing into fog, shot from the street on the last night.
