Princes' Gates, Toronto

The Princes’ Gates mark the east entrance to Toronto’s Exhibition Place. They were built in 1926 to commemorate the 60th anniversery of Canadian confederation and were opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony by Prince Edward and Prince George.

Today, the gates sit adjacent to the busy intersection of Strachan Avenue and Lakeshore Boulevard. I wanted a photo without cars, but still provides a sense of how busy it is in this area, even after midnight when this photo was taken. A long exposure where only the lights from the cars are visible and not the cars themselves creates that sense.
