Scope and content
Colour landscape photograph. The top half of the photograph is a mostly cloudy sky. The clouds are coloured dark blue, white, purple, and indigo. The lower half of the photo is a pond/lake. Around the water in about the vertical middle of the photo, there are trees, bushes, sticks, grass, and dirt. The trees and bushes have green leaves. On the left side of the photo, the trees appear closer and are taller than those on the right. About two-thirds of the way from the left, the land curves and water appears to go behind the land but the land is still visible on the other side of the water. Along the land on the right side, bullrushes with fluffy tops can be seen in clumps. Close to the edge of the water near the left side, there are two white swans, both who appear to be sleeping with their necks down. The water of the pond is calm and reflects the land and sky in a mirror image. Along the forefront of the water, patches of tall green grass growing out of the water can be seen (one small patch just off centre on the left, two just off centre on the right, and two closer to the right side). The photograph is in a black frame.

This photograph is part of Taku Kumabe’s photographic series called the Toronto Sunrise Series. Kumabe started this series in February 2018 and is a way to capture the beauty of Mother Nature as the sun rises over the horizon. As the sun rises from the East, the majority of his images are taken from various parks along the lakeshore in the West end of the city. Kumabe’s photos serve not only to capture the beauty of the sunrise, but also documents major meteorological events in the city. Currently comprising of over 400 sunrise images captured along the shores of Toronto, the complete series tells the story of how Toronto wakes up in the morning.
Taku Kumabe is an Etobicoke-based freelance photographer and art director specializing in events and festivals around the city. His passion for landscape and nature photography has him out during his spare time - often in the mornings - capturing the beauty of Mother Nature.
