Somebody told me once that Chinese immigrants to Toronto have a nickname for the city that translates as "the city in the trees". I have no idea if that's true or not, but it's charming enough, so I'll go with it. This blog will be about things and sights of interest to me in and around the city.
I've always been a fan of the stark beauty of black and white photography, especially in melancholy outdoors scenes. I usually chicken out because I'm afraid I'll miss something if I don't take the full spectrum -- and I tell myself I can always turn colour images into black and white later, but you can't do the reverse.
But today, on the slow creep in, I decided to take in some of the scenes in black and white. These are some of the quietly impressive scenes the day showed me.

Thanks... I think I'll try a little more B&W photography this winter. Maybe with the XT; it has a red filter setting that might really bring out the drama in a moody sky.
I stopped by to pass along a compliment. Several, actually. Various wmtc readers have mentioned how much they dig your comments - that they learn a lot from you.
Very fun! I noticed you posted these on Wed. I've gotten behind on my blogs. Grrrr. Anyway, the photos are fun. I especially like the one on the controls on your car door. ; ) Seriously. Not kidding. Anyway, I'm back on the blog trail now. Later!

That is all.
