A tranquil stretch of river in Glendon Forest, Toronto, surrounded by the warm colours of fall. The gentle curve of the water, the pebbled shore, and the tangle of driftwood create a peaceful glimpse of nature within the city.
While in many other spots where the fall foliage is beyond peak with only a few leaves hanging on, the Don Valley is pretty much at it's best. I took advantage, shooting the Friday arrival of VIA 2 as it snakes it's way through one of many S-curves running down the final 10 miles to Union Station.

Old Bayview Ave Bridge.
It's been long abandoned, bypassed by the Bayview realignment and high level bridge that towers just to the west in 1929. It's been sitting idle in the valley for almost 100 years without traffic.

Mallards are generalist foragers and will eat a wide variety of food. They don’t dive, but dabble to feed, tipping forward in the water to eat seeds and aquatic vegetation. They also roam around on the shore and pick at vegetation and prey on the ground. During the breeding season, they eat mainly animal matter including aquatic insect larvae, earthworms, snails and freshwater shrimp. During migration, many Mallards consume largely agricultural seed and grain. In city parks, they readily accept handouts from parkgoers.

Fun Fact:
The standard duck’s quack is the sound of a female Mallard. Males don’t quack; they make a quieter, rasping sound.
Due to a Metrolinx weekend closure on parts of the Kingston Sub, VIA Rail trains to/from Ottawa & Montreal had to detour, taking the scenic route through the Don Valley on the Bala Sub, as well as the CN York Sub between Doncaster & Pickering Junction. Here VIA 44 is heading northbound on the Bala, passing a location known as 'Sauriol Cliff' on Google Maps. The fall foliage is certainly coming along here, maybe about a week out from being peak.
A pair of SD70ACu's fresh from overhaul at AMP Dansville are in the lead of a lengthy 134, passing over the Don Valley on one of a handful of impressive steel viaducts on the stretch of track between Toronto Yard & West Toronto.

A quiet mid-November moment at Riverdale Farm — the wooden fences looping through the paddocks, the last of the autumn colour clinging to the trees, and the city feeling just a little slower for a minute.
