The Niagra Falls power station and power grid kept my attention for a long time during my trip. The light, quickly changing and ranging from dramatic to over dramatic was the note of an oncoming snow storm. We soon left the area, racing east to avoid what in some areas was 5 meters of snow.
Don Valley, Toronto.
The Don Valley in Toronto after a short snowfall. The valley runs through residential and industrial areas, skirting the highway. My interest here is both in the liminal nature of the landscape and the more specific line that can be found between the structured and often industrial nature of the space and the natural areas, often just a few feet away from each other. After the snow several people came by to walk their dogs, and some sitting alone in their cars talking in an animated manner of their phones.

Looking down, into a small valley of homes, from here you see six or seven types of houses, repeating, in different order, different colour, with additions and in some cases subtractions, that more than anything else shows their common DNA.
