Sunrise over Autumn Farmland in Ontario VIII

Autumn in Ontario is spectacular, even close to the city. It's even better from above, where you can see a carpet of colour spread below. The fields burgeon with the promise of a rich harvest, mostly ignored by commuters heading to work in Toronto whose towers gleam in the distance. Some of this landscape is part of Rouge National Urban Park, which is a bit of a misnomer, as it is really a rural park (as opposed to a wilderness park). A rich assembly of natural, cultural and agricultural landscapes, Rouge National Urban Park is home to amazing biodiversity, some of the last remaining working farms in the Greater Toronto Area, Carolinian ecosystems, Toronto’s only campground, one of the region’s largest marshes, a beach at Lake Ontario, amazing hiking opportunities, and human history dating back over 10,000 years, including some of Canada's oldest known Indigenous sites.
