Olympic Island
Olympic Island sits in Toronto Harbour as part of the Toronto Islands, giving you an unobstructed, wide-open view of the downtown skyline across the water. The gap between you and the city creates a natural frame with the harbour in the foreground, making it ideal for reflections on calm mornings when the water is glassy and still. Shoot with a wide angle to capture the full skyline sweep, or use a longer lens to compress the CN Tower and surrounding buildings into a tighter, more dramatic composition. Blue hour and golden hour both reward you here, but this spot truly shines after dark when the city lights reflect across the harbour. Getting here requires a short ferry ride from Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, so check the schedule and plan around it. A tripod is essential for night work, and arriving before sunset lets you scout the shoreline for the cleanest sightlines. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
