Lake Ontario from Toronto

Like freshly applied watercolours, the sky and lake mingle together

in the softest pinks and blues.

The early morning sky takes on astonishing colours

 before the sun actually breaks through

Then like a liquid, golden ball it appears in its oval loveliness

Overlooking the port and the small landing strip of the Toronto Island airport,

also known as Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

There is a frequent ferry service between the airport and the city.

A lovely sailing boat glides past

A plane goes slowly down the runway before turning around

to gather speed before taking off.

Part of the Toronto Islands can be seen behind the airstrip.

They are a chain of small islands in the western part of Lake Ontario and are just offshore

from the city centre and can be reached by ferry.

Little sailing boats bob around on the structured surface of the water.

and now we are back to a similar view as on the first photo of this series,

but this time, with a completely different atmosphere.

The sky changes colour constantly and we leave with this peaceful image 

of a darkening lake 

and an orange sky reflected in the water's surface.
