What that smoky stuff atop FCP? Looks 9/11ish...

It is steam (like mist coming off the lake) from the HVAC. All the major towers have them but it normally can only be seen when the temperature is right. I guess today, only that tower was creating the effect. The old BCE Place tower with the TD sign on top normally seems to have the mist in the winter. If you notice Scotia Tower has it as well.

That is a very unflattering shot of BAC.

i'm not the biggest fan of BAC but every building in that shot looks bad. if you get the right camera, lens, photographer, what have you...you can make robarts look like the gugenheim.

From Davenport Rd most of downtown Toronto looks like a small town. (Objects in mirror are ....)

I hope that's your way of saying you appreciate Marcanadian's photos still.

It won't look quite so isolated whan Shangri-la comes into the picture.

 

[barrytron3030]

sorry, no disrespect to marcanadian, just to clear that up. i'm grateful every time we get new pictures on this forum.

i was just assuming marcanadian was not taking that picture for aesthetic/ compositional purposes, necessarily. you can tell the picture has an intense zoom on it and was taken with a cell(?). the comment was more in defense of BAC. i should have made a positive assertion rather than a negative one. we all know what these buildings actually look like.

nice shots Solaris! I might have to rip off that low perspective angle with the 'mountains' in the foreground next time I am shooting in the city...

Hey, didn't somebody on here say that the lantern is right across the top now? NOT TRUE! I sure hope it changes.

Someone thought it was because of the angle the photo they were looking at, made it appear that way.

Not yet. But look closely at the left side. There's a lot more of those, um, lantern-shaping pieces just waiting there. I have a feeling they'll form the rest of the lantern in that gap and they're just being stored there temporarily until they can be put in place.
