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.
