Photos Show the Changing Colors of a Toronto Fall
The Toronto skyline, marked by the iconic CN Tower, forms a striking urban backdrop as autumn takes hold of the city. This year, the usual gradual, golden transformation of the fall foliage was interrupted by a sudden shedding of leaves.
The Canadian Drought Monitor reports that the city has experienced unusually dry conditions. This dryness accelerates leaf browning and falling, a pattern also seen in parts of the neighboring northeastern United States.
