Title:
Toronto Travel: Approaching Cherry Beach + movie shoot

Description:
This clip was taken during my biking tour to Cherry Beach on September 6. I headed off from the east end after work through the Don Valley bike trail and past the eastern edge of the Distillery District to Toronto's harbour area. I went on Cherry Street past the Cirque de Soleil premises to Cherry Beach where a movie shot was taking place. I arrived as the crew was just filming a particular scene with a trailer when a small explosion went off and tons of smoke was billowing from the trailer. It must have been some sort of thriller, cop or action movie. Then I checked out the western edge of Cherry Beach with a peak over to the Toronto Islands and then continued cycling eastwards from Cherry Beach at the edge of the industrial area that is adjacent to the Leslie Street spit. I watched some dragonboat racers and continued onwards to Toronto's Eastern Beaches and explored the little peninsula at the foot of Coxwell Avenue, next to Ashbridges Bay. When I was done I watched some tennis at the Kew Gardens Tennis Club. It was a great little ride, about 33 km right after work. I'm trying to take advantage of the last few weeks of extended daylight hours before we head into the darkness of winter...

This video clip was taken during my bike ride to the Scarborough Bluffs. I actually decided to ride eastwards because from 2 pm yesterday there was a huge 5-alarm fire raging very close to our place.

According to the news it was a tire fire which released a plume of toxic fumes. Apparently, even this morning the fire was still smouldering ...
