On the night of the shortest day of the year, my lovely city of Toronto got a real dose of winter with a freezing rain storm.  As most of the city struggled to get along with no power, I took this silent time to walk amongst the unlit trees.  Since they were getting blamed for all the havoc, I took the time to listen to them as the sound of the ice would crepitate as if they were trying to break free.  Here are some photos.
