i'm so absolutely enthralled by these photos of Lake Ontario, taken by the extremely talented
Jennifer Squires. I am often ridiculed for thinking that the lake I live on is a pitiful excuse for a body of water - mostly by people who have the fortune of living on the ocean. I - however - could care less. my body needs to be near a shoreline; needs the smell of water (even though sometimes it's not a favourable smell); needs to see the natural way in which water moves. and i often gush about how amazing the lake is... and am made fun of to no end.
well - all you haters - take this. jennifer has absolutely captured the unbelieveable beauty of the lake just to my south, in her photos - the eleagance of the water, and its simplicity. that magical place where the sky meets the water, and reminds us that there is a world much bigger than us - and to simply bask in all that is natural in this world.
i love my city, and i love the water and all it brings to this city. i'm so so happy that someone has finally done it justice in a non-cheesy, elegant, haunting, and meloncholy way, with all of its stunningly simplicity so directly communicated.
