From the roof of The Richmond - NEW PICS ADDED!

[Darkstar416]

These pics are a few weeks old and I admit not the best, but probably good enough to share. They are from the roof of my building in the Richmond/Sherbourne area...

Looking north towards St. Jamestown.

Moss Park and the new transitional refugee housing building.

South-west view of The Distillery, a levelled West Donlands and The Hearn.

King E & Parliament / West-Donlands.

The SAS Building from the rear.

King's Court & MoZo.

Looking west towards downtown (including a rising Spire).

The skyline from the east.

A closer view of Spire.

The view that VU will block.

North-west towards the Moss Park Armouries and a massive ROCP.

Moss Park, Radio City, Yonge & Bloor, etc.

A building that someone on this forum has purchased! Hmmm, who could it be?

And that's that!

Must be exciting to live in such a transitional neighbourhood.

Hmm, that view looks very familiar. What building are you in? I think we almost became neighbours (well, I almost became your neighbour).

I am in the Tridel building "The Richmond" (hence the title) on the south-east corner of Richmond St E & Sherbourne St. And you?

Thanks Darkstar. Good pics of a part of town that maybe gets a little less attention. I think Mozo is one of the better buildings in recent years; say yes to more brick and less precast!

Misread the title. I took it as being "on" Richmond.

The abode-to-be is presently a former garage on Adelaide.

A few more pics from the roof of The Richmond. These ones were taken at dusk a few nights ago. I don't have a tripod though, so apologies in advance for the bluriness in some of them...

Oooh, very cool. Looks like a nice place to spend an evening with a drink or two.

Nice pics. Clouds look very Simpsons like.

Nice pictures. Were they daytime pictures enhanced using a relatively simple program? The sky reminds me of the blue that I got when I enhanced my photos in iPhoto.

Re: From the roof of The Richmond

I ran them through my CoolPics "enhancer" feature, so perhaps that's how the clouds got that shade of blue.
