Description
Snow Falling on Bay Street, Downtown Toronto
On February 8th 2013 Toronto had a huge snowstorm. It made for some surreal photography. Usually at 8am, Bay Street is busy with commuters heading into work. This particular morning most people stayed home because of the heavy snow. I headed into work and as I was getting off the bus I looked up at all the snow falling against the backdrop of the downtown towers... it was quite surreal and eerily silent in a way that only snow can be... you could hear the silence. I took this shot with my camera-phone, the bus in the foreground is the one I got off. I'm sure people thought I was nuts because everyone was trying to get indoors... but I didn't care. This is one of my favourite photographs and every time I see it I recall all the feeling of that moment in time on February 8th 2013.
