These are some of the best pictures I've seen of this project from a variety of perspectives.

The list is a bit thin, but I like the Little Bluestem Grass.

At the very least, it keeps the Ford people in the limelight for their simple crassness as if another example were necessary - bread and circuses and buck-a-beer.

You're correct. Naming can be quite troublesome. I know those "politically incorrect" terms you mention as well.

Just don't call it " indigenous". Apparently, the term is generally frowned upon by native folks.

Not living in the city, I'm fascinated by the photography from unfamiliar viewpoints.

I renewed my 2 year non-resident membership today. I watched the Liebeskind iteration when under construction, and while interested in the complexity of construction, nevertheless was dubious about the functionality of the inner spaces. There were a lot of places for dust bunnies to hang out...

The Don or Wonscotonach Estuary works.

Two nondescript towers situated west of the Rogers Centre, helping to balance the skyline summits - that's all there is to know and all ye need to know. No amount of picturing is going to make this more palatable from a design perspective, but I trust the developer will make lots of money.

Some aspects of the building show better than others. I like this one especially, with Union Station and the Royal York hotel in the foreground. Even the otherwise undistinguished building on the south side adds some balance and counterpoint. I wonder if the designers had envisioned this vista.

Another post card for the city.
