Waw. That's huge.

Love the smooth asphalt and the painted sewer hole. I can see my old apartment from where you were standing.

Posted by Cesar at March 14, 2007 03:05 AM

Fantastic shot -- the colors are wonderful.

Posted by Justin Blanton at March 14, 2007 03:09 AM

Epic shot with a dramatic sky, great colors and tones! I also like the centered composition.

Posted by braesikalla at March 14, 2007 03:22 AM

Sam this is a great one!

Posted by Shahin at March 14, 2007 03:26 AM

Very nice image. I liked the colors and the way you have captured the cables.

Posted by Abhijit at March 14, 2007 03:27 AM

Ooooh! Very nice shot, Sam!

Posted by Jason at March 14, 2007 03:41 AM

Another absolute masterpiece

wonderful lights and depth - and athmosphere.

Posted by grapf at March 14, 2007 06:28 AM

One of your best shots, without a doubt. Excellent use of perspective and colour. Looks like a movie poster!

Posted by Richard Hayter at March 14, 2007 06:47 AM

Awesome Sam.

Posted by Jack Dixon at March 14, 2007 07:10 AM

Excellent work! I almost feel like I'm there.

Posted by Jeremy at March 14, 2007 07:34 AM

Okay this is amazing, it amost looks unreal, the sky looks like it's comp'd in. Impressive.

Posted by Louis at March 14, 2007 07:46 AM

I like that you could get this picture without getting hit! (I've tried something similar where I live and traffic moves way too fast. ;-)

Posted by richgold at March 14, 2007 08:02 AM

Egads!! You've done it again!! This would be a good shot to start book #2.......

Posted by ryan at March 14, 2007 08:28 AM

Nice schot.

Posted by Naimi at March 14, 2007 08:37 AM

I love this shot. Easily one my new favorites. In a word: stunning.

Posted by creacher at March 14, 2007 08:52 AM

I've looked at every picture here over the last year or so... some have become wallpapers, most have been the cause of envy. They're always great shots of my city.

THIS one is my favourite. Great job.

Posted by Astin at March 14, 2007 10:00 AM

Toronto is thawing out? Looks great. Watch out behind you. Streetcar coming.

Posted by Lx at March 14, 2007 10:02 AM

Nice! Man, I miss Toronto...

Posted by nick at March 14, 2007 10:09 AM

wow...wow...wow....i loooove it.
this must be photoshopped right?

Posted by Kiana at March 14, 2007 10:09 AM

Fantastic shot! Great colors and perspektive! Congrats.

Greetings from Switzerland

Absolutely fabulous shot - great colouring.

Posted by Daniel Seguin at March 14, 2007 10:52 AM

Oh. my. god. o_o

Posted by Eek at March 14, 2007 11:03 AM

Very nice!!!
Keep up the good work!

Posted by Eric at March 14, 2007 11:11 AM

Simply beautiful, well done Sam!

I love the way it's all slightly off centre, really draws you in.

May I have your talent please?!

Posted by Pete at March 14, 2007 11:12 AM

Simply amazing! The detail of the road is stunning.

Posted by Daniel at March 14, 2007 11:16 AM

Sam Javanrouh is most definitely back. What a shot! Great sky colours, it's like a seen from a movie. excellent clarity. TopLeftPixel Photoblog of the Year :)

Posted by Ryano at March 14, 2007 11:49 AM

I don't know why, but I really really like this one.
I think it's the reflection off the cement and the cars. Feels like I'm actually standing there - it isn't often that I get that response from these types of shots.

well executed A+++++ WILL BUY AGAIN EXCERRENTSELLER

Posted by Kyle at March 14, 2007 11:56 AM

Wow! Reminds me of a photo of mine, but I like yours better.

Posted by Taylor at March 14, 2007 12:20 PM

Certainly fiery sky. But rather ordinary a long way from the best of Sam I've seen. To each his own.

Posted by Hugh Petrie at March 14, 2007 12:20 PM

I love this shot. The busyness of the cables makes it more than just a beautiful sunset.

Posted by Steven at March 14, 2007 12:42 PM

effing fantastic!
love the color.

Posted by Louis at March 14, 2007 12:51 PM

Lovely!

Posted by Ravenmn at March 14, 2007 12:53 PM

I've been coming to this site for over a year, and this stands out as one of my very favorite of your WA shots. (Just switched from the 10-22 on the 20D to the 17-40 on the 5D, myself.) In May I'll be coming to Toronto for the first time--looking forward to it!

Posted by stephanie at March 14, 2007 01:28 PM

Posted by jesse at March 14, 2007 01:51 PM

Wow - what incredible colors! This shot is really rich; you caught the light at exactly the right moment. That lens is tempting me more than ever.

Posted by Abe at March 14, 2007 02:49 PM

Hi there.
First time here, love your images... they are amazing. your site is bookmarked for my daily dose.

Posted by amin at March 14, 2007 03:11 PM

I love this completely. The rose colored street and tracks is just beautiful (and those lines - whoa!). This is great, great!

Posted by puzzled at March 14, 2007 03:26 PM

Wonderful! The pastel tones of the sky and the muted tones of the street and buildings just go together perfectly. What a view!

Posted by Laurie at March 14, 2007 04:36 PM

Another new favorite!

Posted by Rob at March 14, 2007 04:42 PM

Fantastic, one of the best I think I've seen this year!

*writing reminder for next year photobloggies picture of the year nomination*

Posted by Markus at March 14, 2007 04:49 PM

The more I look at it, the more I wish you'd done it stereoscopically. Great depth.

Posted by Astin at March 14, 2007 05:04 PM

superb depth in this one. Great compo with those rails leading the viewer all the way to the end of the picture...

Posted by Maarten at March 14, 2007 05:48 PM

Totally outdone yourself and that is something after yesterday! Was makes this especially striking is its completely devoid of people.

Posted by ROB at March 14, 2007 06:43 PM

The roads are made of copper and bronze, and the photograph is pure gold.Sam is the Master!

Posted by Steve at March 14, 2007 07:05 PM

Amazing.

Posted by Eric at March 14, 2007 07:42 PM

WALLPAPER this!
Beautiful!!!

Posted by Aidan at March 14, 2007 07:48 PM

Hi Sam.

Your site is the first I check out every day and today's shot, like the vast majority, is terrific.

You've spent a lot of time at the top of the Sheraton hotel, so here's a shot you might be interested in. It's a great photo of the peregrine falcon nest there with the city hall in the background.

http://www.peregrine-foundation.ca/toronto/sheraton/torsPhoto07_01.html

Thanks for all the great photos.

Tony

Posted by Tony at March 14, 2007 08:00 PM

I wouldn't stand in the middle of the street

Posted by Adam F at March 14, 2007 09:59 PM

Wow. I too noticed those colours last evening and wondered who else was seeing it. I'm glad that one of those people was you and you captured it so perfectly. This is one of those shots that will be in the coffee table book you publish in twenty years.

Posted by Graham at March 14, 2007 10:02 PM

I usually don't leave a comment because saying "Great shot!" every day doesn't make sense. But this picture deserves a comment. The colours are great, the composition is spot-on, and the sense of scale is pulling me right in. I love how smooth and clean everything looks, yet the picture is tack sharp. Even the highlights are well-exposed. Great shot!

Posted by 24by36 at March 14, 2007 10:42 PM

me encantan los colores la limpieza del trabajo
el sentido tan pulcro
no se me tienes impactado por el concepto y el sentido de tus imagenes ademas me encanta
el hecho de que tomes fotografias tan bellas en el sentido estetico
en verdad te felicito por tu
trabajo

Posted by abdel at March 15, 2007 12:05 AM

beautiful. =)

Posted by steff at March 15, 2007 01:19 AM

Wow, excellent capture of light, especially on the road surface.

Posted by Gavin Hart at March 15, 2007 06:19 AM

wow. one of the greatest.
keep doing these.

Posted by shula at March 15, 2007 10:15 AM

Fantastic. I'm headed over to Flickr to fave it.

Posted by Susanna at March 15, 2007 11:14 AM

this is awesome.

nice one!

Posted by euan at March 15, 2007 05:10 PM

Jeez, textbook perfect exposure. Great lines - nice job!

Posted by Gary at March 15, 2007 08:42 PM

Unbelievable, Sam you've outdone yourself time after time. Love the colours...I'm still awestruck from this picture...I just love the skyscraper in the background and the skyline.

Posted by Vinh at March 16, 2007 12:45 AM

This is another one of those really amazing shots Sam. I'm about the 68th comment but I still had to add mine.

Posted by Nate at March 16, 2007 09:09 AM

It's not bad, I wonder how it would look if you had the camera a few inches off the ground?

Posted by rob at March 16, 2007 05:38 PM

simple and cool shot. i really like your toronto photographs because they show the citylife not just the city itself.

Posted by nekto at March 19, 2007 11:57 AM

simply amazing

Posted by jamie at March 19, 2007 08:27 PM
