Dundas rhymes with "spun glass", not "stunned us".

Thanks, George. No one's broken free here, as far as I know. When the tower was building, though, one of the construction workers parachuted from 450 metres. And survived, despite having to navigate past high-tension wires. Since then the only parachuting has been by approved stuntpeople.

I get the impression that the man in the foreground is more interested in the legs of the lady in the short shorts rather than anything else!

A cracking street candid John.........as always!

Thanks, Keith. That was my impression from the shot, too.

Since the fellow in the foreground is only just entering the frame I expect the photographer's interest may have been somewhere else, too. Seriously, an attractive young woman wearing orange is always going to be the focus of the picture, especially when she is striding purposefully past a bunch of stationary people.

Also seriously, I also realized I may have been influenced by Canadian painter Michael Snow's "Walking Woman" series:

It was very popular in my young days.

Interesting link John...............I'd never heard of Michael Snow, but I can see what you mean about his possible influence on you.

In Snow's heyday in the 60s and 70s Canadian painters (like Harold Town, for example), were known outside Canada, but they seem to have disappeared from the memories of most people outside Canada. I believe he's still working at 89.
