[PHOTO] Five (or six) photos of the sun setting at Hanlan's Point, Toronto Islands

[rfmcdonald]

Yesterday, in a most unseasonably hot day that felt like summer, I decided to go to Hanlan's Point for the late afternoon. The beach has changed so much from last year as to be almost unrecognizable, so much of its sand washed into the water, but it works in its new incarnation. The line of poplar trees that is so much closer to the water feels like a privacy screen of sorts, intensifying the experience of distance. The water and the sand, happily, remain the same, if perhaps a bit more pebbly than before.











Google Photos, meanwhile, put together this panorama shot, combining photos 4 and 5 in this series.
