everyone always complains about the hydro poles in Toronto... which I get. They don't bother me, but it would be nice if they were buried. However I really like the street car wires in spots like queen and spadina. It's so urban and so very Toronto.

Great pic, Kotsy!

 

[Lenser]

Yeah. Very nice pic.. low and wide, showing off the beautiful geometry of the streetcar power cables and the echoing curves of the streetcar tracks themselves. Bravo!

All I can think about is how I wasn't patient enough for a streetcar to pass by

LOL. Wouldn't be Toronto without those.

And yet another building tagged by that "KOTSY" guy! Must be the most prolific tagger in the city.

The owners of that corner heritage building should light up its facade and spire. What a beautiful urban scene. Never mind the naysayers.
