How about a look around Toronto over the years?
This reflection is of the construction of the L Tower in the windows of the Royal Bank Plaza.
TIL: the curved top was designed so as not to cast shadows on Berczy Park, a little urban park (next to the flatiron building if you are familiar with the city).
I wish the architecture of all that new construction I saw last summer in Halifax had been half so thoughtful and beautifully designed.
Have you even been around Toronto if you haven't seen the big woodpecker?
This is next to the CN Tower, at the south side of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
This image was taken in 2013. Construction has been the one constance of this city since I've lived here. One field that AI will ever dominate.
A view not many see. It's at the end of the spit, past the cormorant nesting site (off limits during the nesting season).
Standing under the awning at Brookfield Place looking up at the Royal Bank Plaza.
I think this was revealed during the teardown of buildings to make way for that 106-floor building on the corner of Bloor and Yonge. If not that corner, then not far.
This church had bad luck with fires. This is take number 4; the previous version having burnt down in the great Toronto fire of 1849. "An international architectural competition was held to replace it, drawing eleven entries from Canada and the United States." -- wiki
They chose a gothic revival, and the church opened in 1853.
It is a beautiful area, as you can see.
This was on Front St, near the St. Lawrence Market.
I mean, if it had just said "Jack Astor's opening soon," would it have stood out as much? 😀
File under "photograph things when you see them because they likely won't be there forever." Koilos (the large 14-foot, faceless, metal monster) sculpture from the Distillery District has left the city.
Someone bought it, put it on their Muskoka dock, it became a selfie destination, another fellow moved it to his property in a town, in which it is still a selfie attraction. ;)
