Took this shot in passing a couple of weeks ago. Will need to take a bike trip down there on a sunny day to take some better pics

What a circus...

Thought I'd post a couple of shots of this site while the circus is in town. Can't figure out what to call the first one. Eau du Cirqleil? Cirque du Eauleil?

That mound of dirt will be turned into a park: The mound was spray painted green a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if it was just for fun, or if the green spray paint contained sod seeds. I suspect it was the latter.

Unless I completely misunderstand the meaning of an awarded tender, AECOM won the legion road + pond tender back in 2017. The financing schedule is in the linked document. I remember Mark Grimes saying during one of the community meetings that Park Lawn Go station requires a whole new...

I have to agree, from the pedestrian realm perspective, Mystic Pointe is entirely disconnected from the rest of Humber Bay Shores. The combination of the Legion Road extension and future Mimico Trail bridges was supposed to connect the two neighborhoods together. The Legion Road extension tender...

Any Idea why the construction of the shorter western tower looks terraced even though it's supposed to be just another rectilinear box?

Yeah, what I'm trying to work with is nothing as refined as a 5D with an L-series lens. I have an old Canon Rebel T3i with an average EF-S 18-200mm lens on it. As of now, I still think my Pixel 3 phone takes better shots due to its HDR capability built-in. But I try to take out my Rebel out for...

This development is the rare case of where we have a good understanding of what happened behind the scenes. I direct you to the video in this post: Despite architect's best efforts, they were pretty much ordered to value-engineer the residential towers so that good architecture of the rest of...

Is there a list of 'journalistic sources' that are not permitted to be shared on UT? If so, blogTO would make a great candidate for that list

I generally set it to F11 for landscapes (a good compromise between the depth of field and minimal chromatic aberations for my given lens) My previous shot was F11, 1/60s exposure, ISO100, semistabilized against a balcony railing. Here is what I'm talking about: RAW: Edited: The amount of...

Ah, if only I could use photoshop... I'm a technology-averse millennial that lives in a car-free, cable-TV-free, landline-free and PC-free household. The only piece of computational technology I own is the cellphone in my pocket. This is partly the reason why my DSLR sat in a drawer collecting...

I've been using MCC skyline as my test subject lately in my quest to refurbish my 10-yr-old DSLR. I got my hands on one of them circular polarising filters today. My oh my, what a difference does it make to the haze. Once you dial in the angle, it's almost like "poof!" and the haze disappears...

Lots of great detail to be found in the documents. I find this render quite funny, though: Skiing near waterfront? In the last 5 years, when did the snow cover stuck around for longer than a day near the lake?

From the article: I'm going to walk a fine line here by saying that IMHO the vaccine should be delivered to at-risk seniors first, regardless of their ethnic background

Technically, this also qualifies as Mississauga skyline

Vertical brick... 🤦‍♂️ It's almost as if in the situation room they were all like: "This brick is an excellent looking material! In fact, a little too excellent... How do we make it look as dumb as possible?"

Yes, but how many stalls per washroom are there? It matters: http://www.thiscrazytrain.com/2011/11/gues-whos-back-back-again-douche-is.html

To be honest, I can't believe that the office buildings' future is not creating a bigger ripple in the news. Pre-pandemic, there was a shortage of office space in downtown Toronto. However, those same employers in the financial and tech companies have swiftly adapted to WFH and all those office...

Every time I passed by this building, the sun was glaring in my eyes, making it hard to see the finer details of the materials here. But what I think I saw was some sort of a wood grain look to the horizontal stripes. Does anyone have any closeup photos of the stripes? Are they going for a faux...
