better left unsaid

I found myself in down­town Toronto wait­ing for my sis­ter to get off work. We had tick­ets to see the Maple Leafs play that evening, an orig­i­nal six matchup with the Boston Bru­ins. As usual when vis­it­ing my sis­ter, I go down­town a few hours early to blast away with the cam­era and visit some favourite shops. Don’t get me wrong, I love Hal­i­fax, but it doesn’t quite cut it for end­less amounts of down­town activ­ity, peo­ple, traf­fic and actual tall build­ings. In fact, after 5:30 or so it’s pretty much deserted. So I take the shots when I can. On this after­noon I made my way down­town on the sub­way and found a beau­ti­ful bright low sun cre­at­ing all sorts of great drama with shad­ows. At that time of the after­noon I was one of the only peo­ple walk­ing up (north) on King as most peo­ple were head­ing south towards the train sta­tion to make their way home. But there were a few of us on the south cor­ner so I decided to take a snap.
