Not to rush us into full-on winter or anything, but here’s a frozen Woodbine Beach and a freezing Lake Ontario. I took these images after going through the Winter Stations exhibit at the Beach on March 9, 2019.
What is Winter Stations you may ask? Well, Winter Stations is an international design competition held annually in Toronto. Participants are tasked with designing temporary winter art installations which incorporate existing lifeguard towers spaced strategically across the city’s Kew and Woodbine beaches. The structures (not in use in the wintertime) are considered visual anchor points for the installations. The exhibitions usually stay in place for about 6 weeks.
While Toronto beaches are not typically as well visited in the colder seasons, Winter Stations has captured the imagination of the city. The competition is open to everyone in the world.
Stay tuned for a future post dedicated to the Winter Stations installation I attended. For now, here’s a frozen Woodbine Beach…
Getting ready to go out over the lake
Beautiful photos… I love a good winter scene, and you capture all of them perfectly.
Thank you Michal!
I love Woodbine beach and the Boardwalk. We are lucky to have this in Toronto.
You didn’t stop by!
Yes, Woodbine Beach in the winter is just beautiful.
I have walked the boardwalk many times and took some beautiful photos.
