Introduction
Sitting on the edge of the Scarborough Bluffs, Guildwood Park is a unique wetland environment within the city of Toronto. On its other boundaries, the park is surrounded by a couple of large apartment buildings, a high school, and the former Guild Inn grounds.
Many of the photos here are in black and white, which is quite intentional. Although they were originally in color, they just look better in monochrome. Sometimes, color distracts too much from the essence of the photo. In addition, plain prose seemed wholly innapropriate for some photos.
