amazing. i love the contrast. the sewage lid looks like it's made of plastic, the starbust in the background is awesome, and i love the purple hue on the concrete on the left. very interesting shot.

Aside from the obvious (i.e. snow), the crispness and silvery tones in this image really make the cold almost tangible - it's a great shot, and reminds me why i moved as far south as possible to avoid this weather :)
I just stumbled onto your page & i'm really enjoying your work.

Excellent picture Sam. Brr, sure was cold today! Supposed to be up to 12 degrees celsius with rain next week though. Crazy weather!

Clever intuitive composition

Google is great.
Very interesting image, Amazingly bright and you must have used a relatively fast shutter to avoid any motion blur.

Very dreamlike quality to it.

ITS SNOWING WHERE I AM, RIGHT NOW!!

I like the guy who's running. There's even fireworks in the background! I wish it was snowing here (South England), it's threatening to but hasn't yet!

Why are fireworks going off in the background? Am I looking at it wrong?

Well, Google just doesn't get it ... does it? :O)

We haven't had ours here in Nova Scotia yet, .... it can wait, I'm in no hurry! Is that fireworks in the background there Sam?

Thanx for great tip with Google:-)

Nice shot. festive - even if it is still November!! Looks like Toronto did when I was there a couple of years ago in February - it was -30 with the wind chill then!

The guy who looks like he's going to take off sprinting makes this short for me.

Nice picture, very festive even if it is still only November!

Toronto looks like it did a couple of years ago when I visited in February - it was -30 with the wind chill then!!!

I often view your pics here in Chester, England, enjoying them and missing one of my favourite cities in the world

very cool shot Sam. Looks somehow photoshop glow effect which I like very much...

That's fantastic

It always amazes me how you get such sharp images at slowish shutter speeds whilst handholding, and is even more impressive in this instance given the sub-zero temps.

Ironically, it was colder yesterday in T.O. than in Yellowknife!

Enjoying your pix & missing my hometown (but I'll be there for Xmas!)

very nice. i like the silver tones you have captured. It looks so cold and I see the idiot running in the snow and I want to say, "Don't you know that makes it feel colder?!" but alas, I can't. It's just a picture and this guy has already reached his destination...LoL

this looks fake! You faked this picture! Hey guys, look over here. This guy, Sam is faking it! He's a big fat faker! Oh my god look, he even has fake boobs!!!

It's very beautiful night and snow ahot.
Superb.

Sam I always love your snowy shots, and keep them on file.
For you out-of-towners -- yes that is fireworks, but the eletrical kind. Its a giant sunburst suppended in the middle of the square, and the light radiates out from the centre, just like the real thing.

nice winter shot!

Good Luck! va Khoda Hafez.

Fantastic image! Christmas it's almost here and this photo just made it closer.

And thanks for the Google tip. : )

love the colours here, nice winter shot!

I'll be on this very street tonight and I can't wait!

Also, fully aware of the C to F conversion; was just funny to throw that difference into your last post. Apparently by your tip, not many people knew Google was that intelligent. Looks like we are saving the world one uninformed person at a time.

shots like this are why this is my favorite photoblog on the net. simply breathtaking.

u guys are so lucky up there, i dream of a snow in texas

Thank you for your very nice pictures, Sam. It never ceases to amaze me that there are always new twists in your phtotographs of familiar landmarks. This is your nth picture of Dundas square and there is always something new, different and fresh everytime. This particular shot has inspired me to go out and capture some snowy images of my own.

I've never been a big fan of Dundas Square. In the summer, it's all dark colours and hard textures. (It's also supposed to be Toronto's version of Times Square in NYC - yeah, right, good luck with that.) I must say, however, that this is the first photo of that location I've seen that makes it look appealing. Fantastic work, as usual!

this looks like an animated cartoon winter scene. the sharpness and silver tone to it makes me just want to put on some jazz and sip hot tea. wonderful capture!

Your shots make me home sick here is Holland. I miss a good old Toronto Winter. Thanks for giving me an impression of it.

any way i can get this in a high res for desktop wallpaper?

i love the dundas area. the dundas sqaure is probably one of my most favourite squares in toronto because it's right across from the eaton centre :).

its not enough snow!!!!!!!!

hail ottawa!

Cool! Uh - well ya! I mean the scene.

BTW: C to F is a rather lightweight mental trial in math.

-10 divide by 5 = -2, x9 = -18, + 32 = + 14. It's everyone's high school math and physics class.

Geeze! Do we need Google for it? Help!! (Uh! Well, I suppose -3 or 7 etc. might strain the brain, but?)

No wonder I didn't graduate from High School.

hi.its me from one of the hottest countries(kuwait)i heard about your pictures in a irainian magazine (40cheragh)for the first time and i see here a great job.i love it and i hope u the best...

This one makes the snow look playful. Great colour again!

Ha ha google now points to your site when you go "-10c in f"

its looks surreal.. amazing picture.

*jaw drops* breathtaking! can you please, please make it a wallpaper? it would be great to post for christmastime!

I agree with the previous post, I'd love to have this as a wallpaper! (1280x1024-work and 1280x854-pb)

dude! this is beautiful! I live in singapore, a country along the equator, and we NEVER see snow EVER! the tropical winter is just monsoon rain so it's wet wet wet. Your pic makes me wanna visit canada so much!

you know what, i took a nap behind this tree this summer.
thanks for the reminding.

I would also like to get this as a wallpaper for a 1600x1200 screen
Supernice photo!

Beside this being a beautiful shot, I really like the exposure here. It's perfect. The grain in the sky is great as well!

Beautiful pictures!

Peace n' Love
