This is Toronto - on the other side of the Lake. So where is the best view of Toronto? The top picture is from Grimsby Beach, the second one from Mike Weir Winery on Locust Lane, and the third one from Flat Rock Cellars on 7 Avenue in Jordan. The bottom picture shows the Flat Rock Cellars Building from the road leading to it. The view from Flat Rock is excellent with the vineyards stretching out below it.
I was on Locust Lane last week and took pictures from the Mike Weir winery. They feel they have best view. I've also heard Vineland Estates consider itself to have the best view. And Peninsula Ridge is very proud of their view. So there are a few more locations to visit.
I wanted to find the answer the easy way and did a google search. But there don't seem to be any blogs or articles on the best scenic views across the lake. The search did retrieve a great view from the Skylon Tower.
What the articles tell me is that the density of the air plays an important role. The air temperature and the water temperature are important factors. Right now the Lake is the warmest it has been for many years but this isn't the condition needed for the towering Toronto image. The towering Toronto image occurs most often when the water is relatively cold compared to the air temperature. So I may have to wait until next year for this to happen.
I live just under the escarpment where Beamer Park is located - with a great elevated view across the Lake. When I was there last, there were Lake Effects, so there was a "gray" across the Lake with no distinction between Lake and sky.
There's a lot of ground to cover so I'll keep you posted on "Toronto From Across".
