natural selection

I have an aversion to selective colour as a processing technique, but I do like when it occours naturally.

Sugar Beach – so named for its proximity to the Redpath Sugar Factory – was designed by Claude Cormier Architectes Paysagistes and opened to the public in August 2010. I have been meaning to shoot there ever since I started seeing wintery pictures of it in the TO Flickr pool. Imagine my dismay upon returning from Ottawa to a decidedly un-snowy Toronto last week, and my subsequent (relative) glee at awakening to a couple of inches of fresh powder on Sunday morning.

I really have to remember that even though it’s March, I still need to bundle up. I have absolutely zero resistance to the cold – I was shivering and I couldn’t feel my feet by the time I even got to Queen’s Quay and Lower Jarvis, and I was more concerned about hypothermia and frostbite than exposure and composition. Natural selection, indeed! I was not built for this country’s winters.

Just a quick post this week, as I am in the throes of packing and wrapping things up here before I move this weekend.

    I love how you post a number of different images all of the same subject matter but from differing perspectives. Beautiful work at the beach!

    Thanks, all! It really is a neat spot. I’m looking forward to visiting when it is hot and sunny! You can’t actually swim there, but there is a water feature :)

    So, I was randomly selecting your blog posts and came upon this. I must say that these are some of the prettiest photos I’ve ever seen.
