In these breathtaking pictures, Ronnie Yip captured the icy Toronto winter. The photographer noted, "Everything was frozen" on his tumblr page in a caption accompanying this series. The stunning shots show off the surrounding cityscape and statuesque skyscrapers. The adventurous artist had to climb a high rise construction site in order to take photos of the frozen Canadian city. This would be a particularly dangerous task in the particularly frigid Toronto winter weather, with temperatures -20 degrees Celsius the day he took them.
The captures not only feature the frozen area, but also have a serene yet multihued element. The towering views alone are enough to take one's breath away, not to mention the below freezing environment outside.
