Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc ... Always very much appreciated!
Regards, Rakel
Ravines and urban forests are one of the natural wonders of Toronto. They cut deep through the city while urban life carries on above them. They offer Torontonians many kilometres of natural paths and a way to stay connected to nature's diversity.
Thank you in advance to everyone who visits, comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.
On a hot summer day people have different reasons to get out and enjoy the great weather. The owner of this car was sitting behind it facing the beach, with the music blaring and enjoying the attention!
Hope you like it. As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
This photograph shows another one of the 7 temporary winter art displays transforming the lifeguard stations in Toronto Eastern Beaches. These structures are meant to draw Torontonians out of hibernation and back outdoors. This dark, spherical installation encourages you to step inside via a wooden ladder. Once inside, you will find a plush fur interior with a view to the outside through a large, circular window facing the lake. It’s a great place to warm up.
The Sauna is one the 7 temporary winter art arrangements transforming the lifeguard stations in Toronto Eastern Beaches. I didn't find the form and style of this structure appealing - it just looked like a big plastic rectangular prism dropped on the sand. So I tried to ignore the construction and find inspiration from the inside out.
A burst of orange and gold near the Toronto Beaches, captured on a bright fall afternoon. The maples were at their peak, their leaves glowing against a soft blue sky — one of those quick, perfect moments before the season shifts.

Even in a big city like Toronto, you can still find quiet solitude that make you think you're out in the country.
From 2018, Wind Station designed by Paul van den Berg and Joyce de Grauw, Netherlands was a winning entry in the Winter Stations International Design Competition. Made of hundreds of pinwheels, the Wind Station symbolizes renewable wind energy as a counter argument to countries' reliance on dangerous and un-sustainable technology to provide energy.
What a difference from a few days ago - icy shiny rocks, bitter winds, dangerous and slippery sand covered in a thin layer of ice, plants turned into winter sculptures... and now is all gone! There is hardly any snow as temperatures are rapidly going up. I think this is it!!

Winter Stations is a single-stage international design competition held annually in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Participants are tasked with designing temporary winter art installations which incorporate existing lifeguard towers spaced strategically across the city's Kew and Woodbine beaches.
Looking out toward Lake Ontario from beneath the sweeping concrete arches of the Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pools pavilion at Woodbine Beach in Toronto. The modernist curves frame the shoreline beautifully, blending urban design with the calm of the waterfront.
The annual Winter Station design competition returns, where lifeguard stations along Toronto's eastern beaches are transformed into temporary art installations. This installation is called "Obstacle", Designed by Kien Pham from the UK. Obstacle is a metaphor for overcoming the problems in the world. The columns rotate allowing visitors to enter and work together, rotating the columns in sequence to eventually overcome the obstacle.
