Rivers, Valleys, Lake
The topography of Toronto is amazing: a lush, green temperate region filled with hills and valleys, rivers and lakes. Situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the city is in a rich watershed that features iconic rivers such as the Humber and the Don. The river valleys, that converge on the lake, define the landscape. Lake Ontario in turn has come to help define Toronto as a city on a great lake. Views from the water are spectacular.

Tdot Shots
You may know us from our involvement with the Toronto photography community. We launched our Instagram and website in 2018. We have featured more than 500 photographers over 1500 posts, interviewed 50 photographers for our Five Questions feature, and led hundreds of GTA photographers on our photo walk meetups and tours.
We have held an annual photo contest since 2019 and in 2021 we introduced the “Iconic Toronto” theme. This year, 2022, our photo contest will return in November. We are excited to welcome our participants, judges and volunteers, and our generous sponsors.
Thank You Volunteers, Sponsors and Contributors!
We truly appreciate the support of the Toronto photography community. We couldn’t do it without you. Special thank you to our 2021 sponsors Prolab Canada and The Professional Centre.
