Brave the chill with me on a stunning winter adventure to Toronto Island Park!

In this video, I take you on a journey across the frozen Toronto Inner Harbour, showing the breathtaking views of the Toronto skyline and the Portlands over ice

We'll witness the historic William Lyon MacKenzie icebreaker sailing on the icy waters and look at one of the oldest boat clubs in Toronto. We will discover the enchanting "storybook homes" blanketed in snow and icicles and meet a friendly meowing cat!

Winter wildlife offers me vivid photos and videos of bald eagles, diverse arctic sea ducks, and a stealthy mink in their natural habitat. Icy and Dramatic Landscapes: Experience the otherworldly beauty of frozen waves and unique ice formations, showcasing my photography spanning 12 years along the Toronto Island shoreline, culminating in a mesmerizing winter dusk.

Good subject and well presented.  Effective approach, literally and figuratively ... I had to turn up my collar cuz of the wind.  I would be careful about walking near the house with the icicles, home of Vladimir-the-impaler. Nice mix of video with stills.  Gotta love the Umpah-Umpah ... quite the surprise.  Makes me want to open a cold beer and watch it again just to see those icy spikes again.  Looks like you had a good day.

Thanks for your comments.


Funny that you mention beer. Did you watch the landscape slides at the end? Did you know the name of the music?

No, I don't know that particular beer hall song.  I may recognize a few polkas, like Tritsch-Tratsch and Lichtenstein, but that's about it.  It is certainly happy music.  It doesn't try to be pretentious, like hip-hop & rap.  I'm guessing that you know what it's called, having selected it.  Prost!

The name is Alpine Bierhalle.

I didn't know this one, either. It's free and provided by YouTube.

It reminds me of Voice of Spring by John Strauss.

I guess that must be Austrian, or Swiss Bierhalle.  Von Sud-Deutchland zu die Sweiz, alle bierhalle sind ahnlich.  I guess the drinking songs are more in keeping with Oktoberfest and then the bierhalle is actually eine festzelt (party tent).  Now, don't be getting any ideas.  I can't wait until Oktoberfest for the next video. but if you feel the urge ... go for it!
