The view of the eastern side from Adelaide isn't so great.

How so?

That's what I would call a convenient location.

Nice views, thanks.

A very photogenic part of town indeed.

I regret not taking the same shots ten years ago when I first moved in. I count at least 25-30 buildings that have been added during that period.

How so?

I don't like the shape of the building on that side. It looks like a completely different tower. I think it's the balconies that rub me the wrong way, combined with the wall hiding the mechanicals. I think that the building was only meant to be viewed from the angle in the photo above.

From the south east corner, it's one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, but it's lumpy and messy from the west.

So which is it that you don't like? The East or the West Facades?

The lower east side is one of my very favourite parts of the city as well. I almost always start here when giving the tour to friends from out of town. This is the closest we come to European style in Toronto. (mid rise buildings covering whole blocks with courtyards in their middle)

Perfect day to get some fantastic photos... great location if anyone ever wanted to try a 360' panorama

The only way to get a 360 degree pano up here is to get on top of the pool's roof. I should see if I can.

West. Standing from the Bay-Adelaide site, for example.
