Watery Wednesday #73 ~ Along the boardwalk

Ward's Island Ferry Dock
When my time in the "big" city starts to overwhelm me I head out to walk on the Toronto Islands.
Disembarking ferry with Toronto skyline shrinking away!

A beautiful collection of natural and man made islands that can calm the weary soul by taking a 15 minute ferry ride at the foot of Toronto's financial district.
The island side of the The Eastern Gap

The Boardwalk on the southside of the Islands

Created as a result of winds carving out sands from the Scarborough Bluffs and lake currents carrying the sands west the islands were originally an isthmus running from the Don River to the foot of Bathurst Street in Old Fort York also known as Toronto!

The waves were the residual from the winter storm that hit the eastern USA over the weekend.

Known as a place of peace and healing and good fishing by the Mississauga First Nations the land was taken over as a recreational area by the first Europeans to settle Upper Canada.
Hmmm...reminders of home!
After wave action from a huge storm in 1864 opened up what is now known as the Eastern Gap the "Islands" were formed.

My intent was to write about some of the history and geography of these islands however there is way too much for one post so here is a taste of a walk along the southern boardwalk on a sunny winter day while I do some more research! Enjoy!

Watery Wednesday ~ North of Lake Superior

Travelled across the top of Lake Superior yesterday and am always awed by it's beauty and size.

The lake is quickly freezing but where there was open water a weather system was forming. This picture is taken from a moving bus behind tinted windows but if you enlarge it you will see the warmth of the lake water being drawn up to make the clouds...quite fascinating.

Taken at dusk near White River, Ontario, one of the coldest places in Canada and the home of Winnie the Poo!

Watery Wednesday ~ Where waters meet

(Click on any photo to enlarge and see more detail)

Went for a walk on Sunday to the mouth of the Tlell (tell-lel)River which in Haida means "place of great surf and abundant berries". The day was perfect and the colours phenomenal.

Ocean water mixing with fresh water at the mouth of the Tlell River.
When the tide comes in the Tlell River reverses direction for six hours twice a day for about five kilometers up river.
