I went out Saturday and Sunday morning to shoot the full moon set over the city. Saturday was cloudy, but yesterday morning (when I took this shot) was clear. But chilly. Very chilly. : )

This was the lovely moment when the sun was just rising (behind me), adding some light to the buildings but the sky in the west was still relatively dark.

I know the moon is blown out, but I just don't know enough about HDR to shoot it that way and it doesn't really bother me. Well, not too much. :)

I love this tree. This is the second time I've gone to photograph it, even though it's about 65km from home. This time, enough snow had melted to reveal a stone wall that I hadn't seen before, but it's still the gorgeous shape of that tree that does it for me.

Sears Building (1971)

I wanted to shoot a picture straight up from under this cantilevered building but it isn't easy because it's all fenced off during its retrofit. I had the perfect spot picked out but when, a few days later, the clouds were right and I showed up, some guy had parked his car right in the loading bay where I wanted to shoot. It took some contorting to get a half decent angle but I'm not totally unhappy with this one.

Brutalism is a style of architecture, popular from late 1950s to the early 1970s, which emphasized "heavy, monumental, stark concrete forms and raw surfaces" - Dictionary of Architecture and Construction

Feel free to look at the rest of the images in my small (but growing) Brutalist Toronto set.
