It was an impressive view, (I like that it looks like the city is rising from the graffiti-laden buildings), and after I arrived, a few more photographers showed up, so apparently it's not a secret. I was the only one with a tripod, though!!!! Win for me! This one woman had a way nicer camera and lens than me, though, so I had some camera envy.....

| Using the panorama setting on my camera. I bought a new fancy tripod, so I can do fancy pans at a constant height. Great tripod.... Toronto, December 9, 2015 at 4:02 PM. ISO 200, f/4 at 1/60 second. |

The lights of the buildings came on gradually, but of the major buildings, by far the latest was the CN Tower. I waited awhile for the CN Tower lights to come on and was ready to leave by the time they did. At this point, it occurred to me that I wanted everything to be in focus, so switched to a smaller aperture.

It seemed appropriate to get a shot of Toronto I was happy with before setting out to travel a bit again... Looking forward to re-discovering Detroit and New York City, especially since I've been feeling like a bum hanging out at home. I've been sleeping until 7 AM most days... Up early as "usual" today, but easy to feel like a big slacker.
