As I walked along Toronto’s Waterfront Trail, the lush beauty of the flowers and plants in Toronto’s Music Garden completely transfixed me with their summer blooms. Toronto, one of the prettiest cities in the world, shimmers in beauty during the summertime.

As I admired the flowers, I saw the iconic CN Tower in the distance. I was reminded by something one of my university photographic journalism teachers taught me when I was younger. Sometimes the best photos don’t naturally present themselves. You have to work for them and create composition yourself. By sprawling out on the ground from a sidewalk below these flowers, the CN Tower and Canada’s largest city seemed to tower above the park and Lake Ontario.

A pristine photo to capture the Toronto summer was born.
