SundayStills – framed

Toronto 011 The Tall Ships arrived in Toronto this week and I thought what a perfect subject for framing – all those ropes and masts! The top one is a a canoe between seen through the rigging on the Bounty.

Below is the Niagara in the foreground with the Bounty in the centre. And, I cannot remember which the other two ships are, possibly the Unicorn and Roald Amundson?

Toronto 199 The lake was full with canoes, kayaks, sailboats, yachts, tourboats and ferries…Copy of Toronto 064Toronto 184Finally, we reach the hometown pride, the Empire Sandy… and that CN Tower thingy.

    I would love to see the tall ships. I'm too far from the sea.

    Great shots! I especially like the first where I was so enjoying the beauty of the rigging and almost missed the surprise of the frame. Good job.

    love the ropes as frames. I like how you captured some of the boats, in the distance, among the rope frames.

    The last one on the left, good framing by the trees.

    I liked your header, is it a poppy? It inspired to take my photos because I just adore the poppy bud.
