Photos of Toronto engulfed in fog

Posted by Derek Flack / November 13, 2010

Toronto FogSo, Toronto got hit with some serious fog yesterday. Rolling in over the course of the late afternoon, it made for some great photo opportunities throughout the evening and the better part of the night. I'm not sure how many people noticed, but where I was, it appeared that Avenue Road served as this weird dividing line: to the east the fog was minor, but to the west it was very dense.

Here's glimpse at what it all looked like from the blogTO Flickr pool. Lead photo by Natta Summerky.

when the fogged rolled in I assumed two things: cameras would be out in full force; blogto would post a gallery. Nice shots - particularly like yours Derek.

SILENT HILL!!!. Lawl, i was wondering why the city was even engulfed with fog?

Gorgeous photos. The fog was also thick in the east end. The picture of the streetcar going over the bridge is near Queen and Broadview, if I'm not mistaken. The neighbourhood around Danforth & Woodbine was very densely shrouded, too.

Great shots, very great, I left the house at sunset with the dog and didn't return until well past 10. Distillery District was by far the most creepy and beautiful!

we went out too last night to get a few shots. It was beautiful out but I kept looking over my shoulder to make sure I wasn't being followed by "Dementors". Thanks everyone for the nice camera work.

Good thing it was the water vapour type of fog, not the smog or coal fire enhanced fog from years past. The old London fog of history was caused by all the coal fires in its day, there is less log in London these days.

Wow! We're at Pape & Danforth and it was pretty densely fogged here too. You couldn't even see the lights at Carlaw from Pape. The view down the streets that run north and south off the Danforth was pretty spectacular and spooky; the fog, the tree branches, the street lights. It was Film Noire come alive!

The lead photo by Natta is absolutely tops. If its for sale, I'd buy it. I was stuck at ground level all night myself but had tons of fun walking in the fogged out city. Its so surreal walking along a street and not being able to see the end of it. That was the best fog the city's had in ages.

Beautiful photos of the beautiful fog!

Did anyone else notice the smell that came with it?

I second that... Natta how much you want for the pic!

I was out attempting to drive home on the Gardiner during this fog. Definitely creepy! Seemed like you were just driving off into an abyss.

@Scott M2....yah....there was a strange smell...not one I could id... for sure not pea soup.

Love Jenny Rotten's shot of Sugar Beach (I think).. fog almost looks like snow.

The first picture of the city lights peeking through the fog reminds me of a trip to Toronto I took with my boyfriend. Although he settled in my little home town, he was New York City born & bred. The night of our trip he spent a lot of time just looking out the window. I knew he missed his life in the city, but his love for me kept him in the country. He passed away 6 years ago. Thank you for the memory.

As a long time Torontonian,I appreciate the beautiful and unique pics.

When it goes well with the righteos the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish there is jubilation.
By the blessing of the upright the city is exaltd,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

City life can be beautiful!
