CN Tower and Life Saving Equipment (Toronto)

When I need to put together a list of things to do in Toronto, Toronto Island is always at the top of my list. It is full of photo opportunities.

I took this photo on the Toronto Island while walking from the Ward’s Island Ferry Dock along Cibola Ave. To be honest, I did not see too many photo opportunities on the Island that day. The weather was awful and the tall trees along the waterfront covered view of Toronto made it a monotonous and somewhat boring walk.

At some point, when approaching the Sunfish Cut, I saw a small opening in the wall of trees and this is when I realized how distinctive and prominent the CN Tower is. Even at this distance and the atmospheric haze it still dominated Toronto’s skyline proving to be the signature landmark of the city.

Even after I composed my shot with the orange lifebuoys as the main foreground element, the CN Tower still draws the most attention.
