‘What Autumn Feels Like’: A Video Journey Through Toronto and Southern Ontario

Nature Photography
Written By Matt Vardy

There’s a unique beauty to autumn in Toronto and across Southern Ontario—a certain crispness in the air, the way the light falls, and the rich, earthy hues that seem to drape every corner. Inspired by the evocative tones of JVKE's music, I’ve created a video montage titled "What Autumn Feels Like." This project captures the warm nostalgia and fleeting beauty of fall as it unfolds in familiar places close to home.

From vibrant maple leaves scattering across the streets to quiet moments in hidden trails, this video is my take on the season we all love and sometimes wish would linger just a little longer. Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant city scenes or the serene landscapes just beyond, I hope this captures that perfect, cozy autumnal feel.

Take a moment, grab a warm drink, and let this short film transport you to a season that somehow always feels like home.
