Duncan Rawlinson shot this photograph across Toronto’s Inner Harbour toward Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. A rippled sheet of altocumulus fills most of the frame, its rows of gray and blue-green cloud running all the way to the far shore. Beneath it, the island airport sits in a thin band: Air Canada Express turboprops at the terminal, the ferry at its dock, and hangars and service buildings along the runway apron. A single departing plane hangs in the upper left and gives the cloud sheet its scale. The water below picks up the same gray-green as the sky. It is an ordinary working corner of the harbour under a very unusual ceiling. Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this aerial view over the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The image records the first snow of the year settling on mixed forest and open ground along a winding river. Rendered in black and white, the frame emphasizes the textural contrast between snow-dusted trees, bare riverside vegetation, and the smooth dark water cutting through the wooded terrain. Low cloud cover diffuses the light, creating even tones across the frame. The composition follows the river’s curve from foreground to distant shoreline, where a small community is visible. This photograph captures an early winter moment as the season arrives in eastern Ontario.

The super snow moon of February 2019, the largest full moon of that year, rises over the St. Lawrence River in this stitched aerial photograph by Duncan Rawlinson. The Thousand Islands Bridge crosses the frame at dusk with its deck lights just coming on, and their reflections hang in the open water below the span. Beyond the bridge, ice covers the river in a pale sheet that runs toward the moonlit channel. Snow lines both shores and the cottage lights of Ivy Lea glint through the trees at left. The sky grades from the last warmth of sunset at the edges to deep blue overhead. Ivy Lea, Ontario, Canada.

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter scene in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada. A tall pine anchors the right foreground, its weathered trunk and rust-colored needles framing the view across calm water. Two small islands sit in the middle distance, each crowned with evergreens and a single red boathouse that contrasts with the snow-dusted ground. The water reflects the muted gray sky and the dark forms of the islands, creating a mirror-like surface broken only by faint ripples. Bare deciduous trees and snow-covered shorelines recede into the misty background, while a small sapling with copper leaves adds a warm accent to the lower center. The overcast light softens contrasts across the composition. The photograph captures the off-season in this archipelago, where boathouses and cottages rest dormant among the islands.

Shot by Duncan Rawlinson. Duncan Radwlinson photographed this black-and-white aerial view of the 1000 Islands region in Ontario, Canada. Dark water winds between snow-covered shores and small wooded islands, their conifers heavy with fresh accumulation. The monochrome rendering strips away color, leaving only frozen land, open channel, and winter-clad trees. Ice clings to the edges of the waterway while the center remains unfrozen, creating a natural corridor through the archipelago. The high vantage reveals the geographic structure, where narrow passages separate forested islets blanketed in white. Overcast light eliminates harsh shadows, producing even tones across the scene.
