Same photographic composition as the one previously posted, except this was taken with one of the best cameras available, the Leica. Lightroom was used to approximate the feel of the original iPhone photo.

A view of Toronto from the R.C.Y.C. Island ... makes for a nice photo setting.
The Eight Meters ~
**Mary** has added a photo to the pool:
There are a few of these gorgeous sleek sailing vessels at the R.C.Y.C. ... it's quite a sight to see them go out ... last Tuesday some were going for a leisurely sail in the harbour ... there was a pretty good breeze ... and it seemed that they(the crew) were enjoying the evening.
International Eight Metre Class are class of racing yachts. Eight Metre boats (often called "Eights" or 8mR) are a construction class, meaning that the boats are not identical but are all designed to meet specific measurement formula, in this case International Rule. Before WW II Eights were the most prestigious international yacht racing class, and they are still actively raced around the world. "Eight metre" in class name does not, somewhat confusingly, refer to length of the boat, but product of the formula. 8mR boats are on average some 15 metres long. Between 1907 and 2008 approximately 500 8mR boats were built, 177 of them have survived until today.

I prefer simple honest comments, rather then a copy & paste of an award code.
Many thanks!
