Shadows

Brookfield Plce consists of two of two office buildings with an atrium between them. The two buildings, The Bay Wellington Tower and the TD Canada Trust Tower (1992 (Bregman _ Hamann Architects with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) , were completed in 1992. The atrium, called the Sam Pollock Galleria, is by Santiago Calatrava. This was taken from within the atrium, looking at the Bay Wellington Tower.

I'm going to be posting several more photos on this theme, so I would like to make it clear that, sketchy as some of these efforts to bring the look of the country into the city may appear. I love them all. In a city whose buildings are as blandly coloured as Toronto's, any display of colour I regard as a friendly gesture intended to make my life more enjoyable. I also find this display more enjoyable than those leafy squares in London surrounded by fences with locked gates and with barbed wire on top. That ain't nice. I also like how the shadow looks like the front end of a streetcar. There's a streetcar line about a block away, so it's as if the cars were casting their shadows a block north.

I recommend clicking on the photo for the big view.

I was without an internet connection for a few days, and didn't get to take many photos, anyway, so I'm posting an old one I haven't posted before.
