The L Tower appears nearly completely surrounded, thanks to the telephoto lens of UrbanToronto Forum contributor skycandy, shooting Downtown from the Regent Park area. Telephoto lenses compress distance in order to make faraway objects appear closer, while at the same time making those objects appear closer to each other too. While there actually is some distance between these buildings, with each new one that goes up, this part of the city gets a evermore crowded.
