King & University, Toronto, 2016.

I think the large view is more interesting, but you be the judge -- type Z. If you feel like it. It's not like an order, eh?

Thanks, Ulrich. I think I was sitting on a planter having lunch, as so many people do there (both sit on planters and have lunch).

I rather like that shot John. Reflections put to good use.

Thanks, David. The building I was sitting in front of is almost a mirror image of the one on the left, so the corner can get quite interesting.

Thanks, George. I've been watching a lot of Australian TV over the past year, and Toronto seems to be like a backward version of Melbourne and Sydney.

Where does mankind get all that glass from??
150 years ago, it was the most valuable when building a house - windows of the size of a newspaper page were usual at least in farmhouses on the countryside.
And how do we get rid off all that again? Later.
But your upward view is quite impressive, and having that two persons "disturbing" it, just makes it more fascinating.

Thanks, Leon. A few years ago there were so many glass buildings going up in Toronto that much of the glass that was received was defective and started flying off the buildings. I've never understoof the mania for glass here. "Cold winters, hot summers?...Glass, that's the ticket". An advantage for photographers, though, is that for much of the day the streets have two sunny sides.

Why couldn't I have immediately enlarged such a vision of city life in Toronto where I had the lucky chance to be 10 years ago anyway! :-)
Impressive point of view and realization.
Great, by now huge glass buildings reign everywhere.
I didnt know about about these incidents !!
At least..they are not cubes or concrete parallelepids:-)

It took me 46 years in Toronto to discover this opportunity, Bea, and a few years of starting my daily walk at this corner a couple of times a week. I am only slowly learning how to photograph where I live now.

I gather one of the reasons Toronto's buildings are far less ornate than the buildings here in the nineteenth century is that ice kept pulling a lot of the stone detail off onto the streets. Falling glass is much better -- you have a chance to see it coming, for a start.
