Happy New Year, happy new site!

Photo Friday

I just wanted to leave a quick note for all to wish you all a happy New Year! Here’s hoping for a much much better 2011. I know I’ve been neglecting the Photo Mondays. In fact, I’ve decided to retire that category altogether and start a new one for this year. I will post a photo every Friday in a new segment called, you guessed it, Photo Friday. Hope you like the new site! Feel free to browse the portfolio section, but depending on the browser you use, the section might be a little broken right now… working on bug fixes. Have fun!

Je voulais juste vous écrire une petite note pour vous souhaiter une bonne année à tous! J’espère que 2011 sera beaucoup mieux que 2010… J’ai négligé les Photo Mondays depuis quelques mois. En fait, j’ai décidé d’arrêter d’en faire et de commencer une nouvelle catégorie pour 2011. Je vais poster une photo (ou plusieurs) à chaque Vendredi dans un nouveau segment que je vais apeller Photo Friday (clever hein?!). J’espère que vous aimer le nouveau site. Vous devriez visiter ma nouvelle section portfolio, mais dépendement du fureteur internet que vous utilisez la section pourrait être un peu brisée… je travaille sur des fixes en ce moment.

Fireworks!

Calvacade of Lights and the Olympics

Toronto

Last Thursday, December 17th 2009, the Olympic torch slowly made its way to downtown Toronto. By sheer luck, I was also making my way to Nathan Phillips Square to catch some of the Christmas atmosphere for one of my Photo Mondays. The unfortunate part of the story is that I made it maybe 30 minutes too late and I missed the whole ceremony… Ha ha!

Luckily, I was able to sneak my way upstairs and get a couple of nice shots of Nathan Phillips Square once they opened up the ice rink and started the fireworks for the Calvacade of Lights 2009. If you are around for the Holidays, I strongly recommend you go ice skating downtown. It was a super cool atmosphere!

One last thing. In the last two shots, if you look carefully, you can see two guys sitting on the far left arch over the ice watching the fireworks (check out the original size to see them). Of course the cops were there waiting for them when they climbed down… Ha ha! Poor souls! I wonder how much their seats cost…

Anyways, here are some shots I was able to get.

The red carpet for the Olympic Torch, minus the Olympic Torch… I like the policeman just chilling there on the ice.

The Fireworks added a little something to the atmosphere at Nathan Phillips Square. Very neat!

One more for good measure!

I hope I get to go ice skating down there once this year. I also want to try out the ice rink by the waterfront. Both look like super cool places to enjoy our winter season downtown.

Cheers,
