A group consisting mostly of women, who call themselves "The Endorphins", gather for a sunrise swim in the chilly waters of Lake Ontario during freezing temperatures in Toronto, Canada.
I'm down at the lake, and I'm surrounded by a flock of geese gently nibbling on algae on the rocks below me. Some are doing their pre-flight preening, while a couple have swum further off to await takeoff. They are mostly Canada Geese, but there are a couple of stubbier Cackling Geese mixed in.
It was a peaceful scene until a pair of swans showed up. The male swan is being aggressive towards the geese. Far off, long-tailed ducks make their special calls
A fine morning spent nurdle hunting in Marie Curtis Park. Nurdles are lentil-sized plastic pellets that are used in manufacturing. They are regularly shipped back and forth across the Great Lakes and some end up in the water (then inside fish and birds). A Greener Future is organizing volunteers to help clean them and other plastic debris from some of the beaches along the north shore of Lake Ontario. https://www.agreenerfuture.ca/
Grydon Smith, Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources hired sanitation co., GFL to clean up the runoff of last week’s #Etobicoke chemical fire. Unfortunately, the company could not stem the chemical runoff effectively and it breached the creeks and is pouring into Lake Ontario.
MPP Smith also pushed through #Bill23 which stripped Conservation authorities of power. #onpoli#ontario#DougFord#toronto#LakeOntario#greenbelt
Das #Oculus ist mehr als nur die #PATH Station vom World Trade Center. Hier geht es auch direkt zu vielen Subway-Linien und natürlich Einkaufszentren. Laut Wikipedia waren die Amerikaner über die Baukostenüberschreitungen so erbost, dass Stararchitekt #Calatrava keine Aufträge mehr in den USA bekam.
Ankunft auf den Vergnügungsinseln #TorontoIslands. Auf der äußeren Seite kann der #LakeOntario sein wilderes Gesicht zeigen. Entspannung im #Centreville Park mit einer Seilbahn, die nur eine Station hat. Einfach Mal eine echte Rundtour machen.
