A Sunny Scarborough Bluffs 晴朗的士嘉堡懸崖

This was a sunny Thursday with cloudy blue sky, a good time for outdoor photography. I went to Scarborough Bluffs again with my two photo buddies. This is my 3rd years taking photograph of the cliff scenes. Now the cliff top is securely fenced to prevent visitors from going too close to the cliff. But there is still an opening where people can walk closely to the cliff edge to appreciate the beauty of the lake.

I remember there used to be an old tree at the edge of the cliff but now it disappears. Probably the clay of the cliffs cannot afford to support the stout tree trunk which endangers visitors as it may fall down anytime! It may have been removed because of this. Under the blue sky and the azure lake water, the two artificial islands decorated with a few images of the sail are getting much charming! We went to the bottom of the cliffs to take photos of the blue sky reflected on a pool of stagnant water. With these, we have enjoyed 3 hours of landscape photography of the lakeview cliffs in this early autumn.

星期四天朗氣清，藍天白雲，是戶外攝影的好時光。與兩位攝影拍友再訪多倫多士嘉堡懸崖獵影。這是我連續第三年拍攝懸崖風景了。崖頂加設了鞏固的圍欄，避免遊人走近崖邊。但仍有一缺口可讓遊人進入靠近崖邊，始能一睹崖下迷人的風景。原在崖邊生長的一棵老樹已不復見，恐怕崖邊泥土承受不了粗壯的樹桿，有倒下崖底之險，想已被移去了！在碧雲天，蔚藍湖水襯托下，兩個人工島及幾點帆影均顯得景觀份外迷人！走到崖底，也拍攝了藍天倒影在湖水的美景。就這樣，我們渡過三小時，享受捕捉初秋湖影的樂趣！
