The blogTO Flickr Forum is a weekly sampling of themed photographs taken by Torontonians and aims to not only feature the talent they possess, but also spur dialogue and reveal the stories behind the images.

Today's collection of Toronto photographs is made up of responses to our call for photos that fit the theme "WINTERCITY". These images were all recently submitted to the blogTO Flickr pool.

To the photographers: we'd love to hear about your photos. A little info on where it was taken and the story behind the photo is always a great start.

To the rest of you, feel free to ask questions to the artists, submit photos to the blogTO Flickr pool for next week's consideration, or just sit back and enjoy our weekly mosaic.

Continue for links to larger versions, and to check out the next theme.

The next theme is simply, "STORM", and as always, is open to creative interpretation. We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on February 8th.

To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "storm"
- Add to the blogTO Flickr pool
- If you have a photo already in the pool, and you would like it to be considered, remove the photo from the pool and re-add it. Only photos added in the past week will be considered.

If you have a theme suggestion, feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks Mike for selecting my photo for your weekly selection. Festivals are always a time for me to go out with my camera. This festival is especially interesting with its combination of winter and fire themes. Makes for a study in contrasts. What you can't really see in these images is the fact that it was VERY cold, which gave me a lot of incentive to stick close to the flames in order to keep at least 1/2 my body warm :-). Despite the cold, there were a lot of people out this night and everyone seemed to enjoy the activities. I know that I'll be out again... and that I'll be wearing an additional pair of long-johns!

If you enjoyed this picture, please let me know what you think of the others I took: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fizbot/sets/72157603797791979/
