SkyKacked: Thank you for joining UT's L-Tower forum, and for sharing your comments and posting some fabulous photos. Please keep them coming. I think you are the envy of just about everyone on this forum, although you wouldn't catch me climbing up the tower to your perch. Welcome, and we all look forward to your continuing contributions.

great article by William Thorsell in the Globe, about the topping off of the L Tower, and the liberating aspects of some of the architecture we are starting to get here...I wholly agree with everything he has to say....and especially like his description of OCAD as 'pop art' - never thought of it that way before, but I think he nails it...

Then again, given his ROM-my vested interest re Libeskind, that piece may be what Frank magazine once would have labelled as "Drivel"

Well, that sounds interesting! I wonder what time this will all happen at.

That south west view from the street is a stunner. Love the angles.

I couldn't resist stitching together two of SkyJacked's pictures into a verical panorama. I hope he doesn't mind.

Excellent Work udo. I most certainly don’t mind, so long as you don’t mind that I have been showing it off with my new phone ever since you posted it. I hope you can find more to play with in the future.

WOW that last pic... what I would give to climb up there... jaw dropping.

All I have to share for now are older photos with a lame camera. I am going to post some random stuff today and next week I should have some fresh and new.

Sharing space with the concrete pump
