A Trip Through the Distillery

 There have been a lot of times I've driven past the historic distillery district in Toronto, but have never taken the time to walk through the old brick and cobblestone neighborhood. The first time I went there, I could have spent all day and taken hundreds of pictures, if the rest of the day wasn't planned. Every where I looked was an interesting building, an old beat up truck, a giant sculpture, or a bright green bottle. While walking through, I found this old beat up dodge pick-up. I could have spent an hour at the truck but just didn't have the time. Three of these pictures were from that truck, the first is a crack in the windshield. This one was taken from the passenger side through the side window, although the angle wasn't the best and the frame isn't the greatest, this picture still turned out very interesting with the contrast between the dark background and the light caught in the cracks. The second was found as we rounded a corner and found a bright green Steam Whistle

bottle sitting upside down on a post. With the bright green and the light that day I couldn't help but snap this great picture. The next two are from the same truck again, the first one is a shot of the front grill. I had to take a couple of these shots to get the right angle and the right amount of the truck in the frame, it was surprisingly difficult due to the fact that about 4 feet away there was a booth for a vender and I had my long lens. After a number of tries I managed to grab this shot and I think it worked out pretty well. The last one is back to the windshield but this time its from the front. Like the one before it I had a difficult time getting the frame right on this one and I'm not completely happy with it. I would have liked to have been square with the truck and get a shot from right in front and get a little bit closer to see more detail in the crack and the colour in the window. In the end, it was a great day in a gorgeous area and a lot of things to take pictures of. Next time I am definitely spending more time there and taking a lot more pictures.
'Till next time
Cheers!
