Views From the 6ix: Toronto Islands

A couple of weeks ago when it still felt like summer in Toronto, (It is currently freezing) I took a late day trip to Centre Island with some friends. I've never been to the Toronto Islands so late in the day before so I decided to snap a couple of pictures with my phone. I got a little carried away (ofcourse) trying to capture as much of the beautiful scenery as I could. Below are a few of my touristy shots from the day. #305ToMyCity

P.S- Drake, if you're reading this, (lolz, yeah right) you need to film your next music video on the Toronto Islands at night. It's time we show the world a different and perhaps under-appreciated view from the 6.     

I took this awesome shot as our ferry pulled away from the dock, on the way to Centre Island.

Another shot of the city skyline with a pretty sunset as my backdrop.

Here's a cool looking weeping willow that greeted us as we pulled in to the island dock. I felt a great kinship with this tree. I wanted to hug him and tell him and tell him that I could relate.

This is definitely my favourite shot of the night. We came upon this beautiful scene after walking through some long wooded paths along Ward Island. Upon approaching a clearing I happened to look to my left and was met with this amazing view. I felt like I had stumbled in to a scene from the movie, 'The F-Word".

 

As you can see, I just could not get over how beautiful my city looked from a boat. Call me lame, but I have at least five more awesome shots of this view. You may think I'm being a bit excessive and this blog post is lame but, too bad. I can't really put in to words how amazing it looked in real life. I suggest you check it out, in person. It was breathtaking.
