TOM RYABOI'S VIDEO "CITY RISING: A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF TORONTO"

Take a pause in your day and enjoy this beautiful and calming view of our fair city by 27 year old Toronto Photographer Tom Ryaboi using time lapse photography. (Note this is a big file so be patient while it loads before viewing.) Like a soaring eagle on an updraft Tom looks down from roof top perches to the city laid out below. We can see human and kinetic energy flowing through the structures and places we have created. Got to love the human ingenuity and raw energy which has transformed the raw materials of the land into bricks, concrete, steel , glass into roads, buildings, plazas, pedestrian walkways. Our senses are set alight observing the roof top view of the sensual patterns of clouds in the sky above. The video's dramatic sound track deepens our emotional journey and reflection. Visual patterns like these are used by geographers like myself to help us better observe, understand, question, appreciate and celebrate the relationships we humans have to the places we inhabitant, and to help us find our way forward. To see more of the world through Tom Ryaboi's mind, eye, and lense visit BlogTo where he is a photo editor or simply google his name to contact him directly and purchase a picture. Thanks Tom
