Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It’s our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

With the quality of a product shot, this photo by Flickr pool contributor gp0256 is beautifully composed to focus on the water bottle instead of the runner. Framed by the vibrant green trees and haloed by a gorgeous summer sky, the runner stands out in a great frozen moment of action as he reaches for the waiting rehydration.
This image was captured at this Saturday’s 5 km Pride and Remembrance Run, which raised more than $100,000 to support the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation and the Triangle Program.
