Flickr Forum: May 30th, 2008 - Gold
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 "GOLD". 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.

1. Fool's Gold
2. Not Amused
3. Commerce Industry Integrity
4. a matter of light
5. Where the Walls Are Paved With Gold
6. Golden rings
7. Swan Sunrise
8. golden star
9. In Golden Fields

The next theme is "SQUARE", and as always, is open to creative interpretation. We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on June 6th.

To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "SQUARE"
- 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 for choosing my photo - #2. Not Amused. This is a Sumatran Tiger at the Toronto Zoo. I have a bit of an obsession with the four Sumatrans and his stare was particularly chilling that day.

Wow! Thanks so much for featuring my shots! #1 was shot coming back from the island after a rainy flickr walk and that gold building stood out so well against the background buildings that I made it the focus of the shot. #3 is the interior ceiling of the old CIBC building on King West. I shot it during Doors Open Toronto. It's really incredible in there and well worth a visit. #9 was shot on the way home from work-a woman was making her way through the windswept grass and sunlight lent a beautiful colour tone to the scene. Kudos to the other photographers. Megan; that tiger looks like it's getting ready to jump through the screen-great shot.

Hey BlogTO. Thanks for picking my shot, #5. This is a building I think it part of U of T just on the East side of Queens Park and the Legislature.

Cheers, P

I took the "Golden rings" photo. It was taken at the ROM not too long ago when I went with my boyfriend and his five-year-old nephew. They were taking a while in the washroom as little boys tend to do, so I decided to get some close-up shots of the details on the temple facade just outside the washroom. I love the macro settings on my camera! Thanks for featuring it.

Thanks so much for choosing to feature "a matter of light".
This is a shot of a friend's lighting fixture. Apparently it came disassembled, and they had to string the hundreds of glass balls to create the large, donut-shaped fixture.
And thank you to ~EvidencE~ who suggested I submit it for this theme :~ ) Love your "Swan Sunrise", ~E.
