The Scarborough Bluffs, also known as The Bluffs, are an escarpment in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Forming much of the eastern portion of Toronto's waterfront, it is located along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. At its highest point, the escarpment rises 90 metres (300 ft) above the coastline and spans a length of 15 kilometres (9.3 miles). It was first named in 1793.
The Bluffs have been described as a "geological wonder" and a unique feature in North America. It is believed to have resulted from the accumulation of sedimentary deposits over 12,000 years ago. (Sourced from Wikipedia)
This was taken on a windy autumn dawn. These cliff faces are a few minutes walk from the actual bluffs. The first rays of dawn has just enough intensity to illumate the cliff faces but not the sky beyond. The warm colours render some comfort to combat the chill from onshore breezes.
