Toronto: Union Station to CN Tower #photography

After the rather disappointing view of the Union Station, I decided to walk over to the CN Tower.

Glass towers off to the right of the royal fairmont hotel.

They have lovely street kiosks with an extraordinary number of items. In this one, they had bread, sandwiches and newspapers. Your morning sorted.

Photobucket

Crossing a crossroads and looking down one of the steel, concrete and glass canyons.

Photobucket

Two seconds to liftoff.

Photobucket

A twisted scuplture.

Photobucket

A beautiful brick building emerges. Now why cant they make more buildings like this? This looks good and attractive. Warm. Inviting.

The job of cleaning those glass walls. I wouldnt do this job for all the tea in India. Or China. Or both. See the wires going up? Would you want to do this? No Siree no way.

Photobucket

Nice name, the Loose Moose. Mind you, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near a Loose Moose, lol.

Photobucket

Sightseeing? There are sights in Toronto? Smile with tongue out just kidding.

One of the side streets had these lovely green trees on the corner. Looks beautiful. A perfect place to sit on a hot sunny day and sip a coffee. Or chew on your sandwich.

Photobucket

Hmmm, not very loose is it? if its stuck up on the wall?

Photobucket

Rows of lights…..

Photobucket

Hmmm, a bit of a manky place, I wouldnt buy anything from here if you ask me….

Photobucket

A big ass dish. Nice one. Another way of looking at this would be to see a circle where everything else is sharp angles and lines.

Photobucket

Nice swish places.

Photobucket

One thing is for sure, these are buildings of massive size. They look it too. That’s the hotel that I am referring to in the background.

Photobucket

heh, nice name.

Photobucket

On your bus! but hippo bus? hmmm.

Photobucket

Postering works for Caribou?

Photobucket

Mirrored underbridge?

Photobucket

Nope, there’s a leak somewhere Smile

Photobucket

A whole variety of building styles and shapes.

Photobucket

Somebody important? And an interesting licence plate

Photobucket

Damn texans, they are everywhere Smile

Photobucket

That’s a nice sculpture there.

Photobucket

Reaching the CN Tower.

Photobucket

The sky was cloudy but sometimes the sun will break through.

Photobucket

The CN Tower peeking out.

Nice sculptures out there. Its a nice walk. I only wished that the damn weather was better, but we cant have everything now, can we?
