This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend, the end

 

Of our elaborate plans, the end

Of everything that stands, the end

No safety or surprise, the end

I'll never look into your eyes...again [ ♩ ]

 

I’m going to try to keep this short.

 

I started my 365, the day after I returned from a summer traveling through Spain, Greece and Turkey. During my 365, I took photos in : Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Trinidad and Tobago. In only a couple of weeks I will take photos in : Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and California. Needless to say, traveling is a big part of my life, and turned out to be a big part of my 365. My dream project would be “Around the World in 365 Days”. One Day :]

 

Last week I started thinking about other interesting things that I did this year, and came up with this, I :

 

-Photographed 6 weddings.

-Celebrated my 22nd birthday.

-Officially licensed my own photography business.

-Won three photo contests (trips to Vegas, and Vancouver, etc.)

-Finished my fourth year at University, and then decided to change my major completely.

 

I’m really glad that I started this project, as much as I hated it some days. I feel that my photos have really improved since Day 1. I finally followed through on something to the end!

 

Now I look forward to taking some time off, and just relaxing. But, I’m sure I can’t stay away for long. Next, I look forward to eventually deleting most of my 365 photos, like a big spring cleaning! And I'm glad that now I can only post the photos that I like, without the stress of posting daily.

 

Okay.. I’m starting to ramble..

 

So, of course, I would like to thank all of you on Flickr. Thank You for all of your comments and feedback. Thank You for all of your inspirations, and beautiful photos to keep me going. Thank You for everything.

 

This is The End.

 

365 / 365

July 27th, 2010.

 

Sometimes I don’t know how to do it. How to live happily in this world when so many troubling things happen and are happening. The war in Ukraine weighs on my mind. When I go for walks and visit places that I love, I think about how it could all be destroyed or taken away. I know that it’s not useful to have these types of thoughts, but I do have them, and they create a bittersweet feeling in me that persists.

 

It’s all fleeting. Everything is fleeting. I am reminded that gentleness and gratitude are essential qualities. People that lack these qualities are to be pitied and beyond comprehension to me.

 

Please take good care, and continue to do what you love: take photos, listen to music, dance, laugh, love… I wish you peace and happiness always.

For about the millionth time on Flickr, I introduce to you, the Toronto skyline ;-)

Looking at the Toronto skyline from across Lake Ontario.

We stand with you

Two of the striking Toronto waterside buildings at night.

Toronto, the fourth largest city in North-America (after Mexico-City, New York and Los Angeles) with it's 5,9 million people living in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

 

The skyline of the city is dominated by the CN Tower, until 2007 the tallest free-standing structure.

 

Also visible, besides the CN Tower is the Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays, playing in the American League of the MLB (baseball).

 

Furthermore, lots of skyscrapers are looking out over Lake Ontario, with headquarters of banks, Insurance companies etc.

 

This photo is taken from the Toronto Islands, which were part of the mainland at one point, but a severe storm seperated the peninsula, forming little islands which are leisure areas nowadays.

Toronto's Rogers Centre (formerly known as Sky Dome), with the CN tower in behind it. 14th in this set of images of the downtown Toronto core.

Near: Queens Quay W & Rees St

 

Located in Toronto's Inner Harbour, this unique park includes grassy hills, a long sand beach extending along the water's edge, stationary yellow shade umbrellas and Muskoka chairs. Stylized as HTO, the name is word play between the chemical element of water, H2O, and the common abbreviation for Toronto, TO.

 

Billed as "Toronto's Urban Beach", HTO park is an inviting space that highlights contemporary landscape design.
