TORONTO ISLANDS MOON WALK

This evening Barry and I joined Tom Fiore's Moon Walk on the Toronto Islands. There was a fair number of folks participating including TSHC members, Mary ayers, Mary Moore, Tonie Norman, and Bobbie Ardell to name a few. Unfortunately the clouds had begun to roll in as we set off from the Wards Island Dock. The sunset wasn't too bad in terms of clarity and colour but the so called Super Moon was not a photographer's delight. Tonight the moon is closer to the earth and therefore appears to brighter and larger. The next time it appears this way will be 2034! The group walk to the pier at Centre Island to hopefully watch the moon rise. It was shrouded in clouds and impossible to capture a shot. Barry and I walked towards the Wards Island Ferry Terminal and managed to get a few reasonable shots. Waiting for 7:15 pm return ferry I dropped my camera. It fell off the bench and broke the eyepiece etc. Little did I know it would cost over $500 to fix!
From the ferry terminal we made the short walk to the Fox Pub for a libation and a bite to eat. We chatted for an hour and thanked Tom.
