Wider Image: Earthprints: Leslie Street Spit
Double-crested cormorants nest at Tommy Thompson Park located on a man-made peninsula, known as the Leslie Street Spit, in Toronto June 24, 2015. It was created over 60 years ago by the dumping of dredged sand, concrete chunks and earth fill, expanding what was once just a thin strip of land in the citys busy harbor. An unexpected urban oasis, the development brings marshes, lagoons and forests to the centre of Canadas largest city.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Tommy Thompson Park, also known as Leslie Street Spit, in Toronto. The man-made peninsula, created over six decades ago by dumping dredged sand and concrete chunks, has transformed into an unexpected urban oasis in the heart of Canada's largest city. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene where double-crested cormorants have made their nests on branches protruding from the water. The low angle view emphasizes their instinctual need for protection and highlights the picturesque atmosphere surrounding them. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and shimmering sunlight, these wild animals find solace amidst marshes, lagoons, and forests that now thrive within this once-thin strip of land. Mark Blinch's detailed composition beautifully portrays the harmony between nature and urban development. The creative use of depth of field allows us to appreciate every intricate detail – from the delicate feathers of each bird to the texture of tree branches they call home. In this moment frozen in time, we witness nature's resilience as it adapts to its surroundings even within a bustling metropolis. This photograph serves as a reminder that beauty can be found anywhere if we take the time to observe our environment closely. It reminds us that protecting our natural world is crucial for future generations to experience such breathtaking sights firsthand.
