Toronto Photowalk 5: Ontario Place and Exhibition Place.

Photowalk details:

Date: May 21, 2023

Loca­tion: We met in the shad­ow of the Princes’ Gate. From there, the group processed toward the old Ontario Place grounds via Tril­li­um Park, and lat­er, north toward the Rose Gar­den at Exhi­bi­tion Place. We con­clud­ed the walk on the Duf­ferin St Bridge.

Since the theme I had orig­i­nal­ly envi­sioned for our April pho­towalk was aban­doned due to the gloomy weath­er, I risked repeat­ing the theme one more time. For­tu­nate­ly, that gam­ble paid off! The after­noon was warm and the sun radi­ant. Ulti­mate­ly, pho­towalk themes are mere sug­ges­tions designed to trick your mind into being more cre­ative via arti­fi­cial con­straint.
