CN Tower #8

CN Tower #8
CN Tower, Toronto,

Yes, it's not straight. Pretend you've tilted your head.

More shots of the tower and some information about it:

Good illustration of "vanishing point" which is more than emphasized by the triangular shadow of the sunshade. A good color scheme, too.

Is that the tower with the glass floor in one spot, a real dare for us would-be acrophobics? If so, I've been up in it and coolly stepped out on it and told myself that I didn't feel anything at all.

Thanks, Bob. Yes, that's the tower with the glass floor. When I was a younger man (60 or so). I had no qualms about standing on the glass. I went up a few years ago with Paul Aningat (Canadian Son on Flickr), though, and it took me a few minutes to persuade myself to get on it. Paul had no problem, though, even though the tower's a bit taller than anything in Arviat (Nunavut) where he's from.

Very geometric, surprisingly I love it! The shadows are fab but you'd have to be at tall as Gulliver in Lilliput to get any shade from that canopy!!

I think it was intended to be a postmodern canopy, Maggs -- that is, a non-canopy. The grid seems to have been added as an aid to maintenance people, such as window washers. These days shade is provided by trees and bushes.

Lovely play of light and shadow.

Today this walk is filled with trees and bushes, so I fear the shadows have disappeared.

An unusual perspective for the tower.

Toronto's full of them, Esther. You can see the tower from an extensive area. I have a shot of it from 12 km/7 mi away in Etobicoke (the westernmost part of Toronto) across Lake Ontario. You can see it across the lake 65 km/40 mi away in Hamilton. Promotional photos seem to use only a few of the many possible points of view, though.

I'd never thought about that before, so thanks for bringing it up. It reminds me of my stupefaction on first seeing the Houses of Parliament in London. Their photos don't do them justice.
