Last night I drove down the Bayview extension to find a good vantage point to shoot the Bloor Viaduct, but couldn't find a good angle from location I could park at.

Any suggestions?

From the top or bottom?

From the top, the retirement/public housing at 80 Danforth.

From the bottom, I'm not so sure.
I know that NE of Riverdale farm is the pedestrian bridge that will get you on the trail between the river and the freeway, then there's a short hike.
From the north could be the brickworks, but I don't know if that will get you onto the trail. Pottery road will definitely put you on the trail.

And the 'quick' way down has been blocked by some multi-milllion dollar fencing :roll:

I would park by the Riverdale Farm and walk down to the bicycle trail and get some shots from there. If you want to get a little closer just walk north along the trail.

If you have time on the weekend you can walk or ride your bike along the bike/jogging trail that runs along side the DVP.

i saw a print at toronto image works of a bridge like bloor viaduct. not sure if it was it. I would just park on the side of the road. there's a few driveways close by.
