Canada Astrophotography — Ontario, Toronto & Niagara Falls Nightscapes

This collection features nightscape and astrophotography images captured during my trip to Canada, primarily in Ontario, including Toronto and the Niagara Falls region. While these locations are affected by light pollution, they still offer unique opportunities to combine urban night lighting, landscaped foregrounds, and the night sky.

One interesting observation from this trip is that golf courses can be excellent locations for night photography. They often feature carefully designed landscapes, open horizons, and subtle lighting that works surprisingly well with wide-field astrophotography and nightscape compositions.

Note: This is the only image in this post photographed from a landscaped golf course. The following year (2015), I continued nightscape astrophotography in a very different environment — Puerto Rico Astrophotography .
