Here's a great photo I took this morning. This is a view of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in downtown Toronto, from the train yard on York St., in -26°C weather (-14°F). Read: ****ING BLOODY FREEZING WINTER WEATHER! The drifting snow makes everything appear really foggy.

I wish I could stay one night in this hotel for just ONE night, but the basic guest room STARTS at $200/night. The luxury suites are about $2000/night.

-26°C!!!

-------------------------------------

Pigeons aren't cold here. I took this pic two weeks ago, during their "shower time":

I've always liked this kind of photos: sunlight, water and frozen movement. Two "requirements": a good position and a short exposure-time.

That's a great photo! Very moody in a weird way.

I agree, I think it might be the great contrast of the shot.

So this is an old picture that I came across from Salzburg. The main reason I'm posting it is because there's a kind of optical illusion at the second arch. It caught me off guard at first but I think its just the light reflecting off the stone. The effect is kind of cool, and I think the picture is kind of "trippy" because of that plus the vertigo effect.

ps... does anyone know how to make it smaller? : /
