Not to sound churlish, but I'll chime in here.
The photos are 50 - 75% of the draw for my coming here (the numbers fluctuate according to my mood) and I really appreciate the persistence and hard work of all the photo/urban hobbyiists who post there stuff here.
Having said that, it can really slow down a thread (esp those of us with older/slower computers) to have 10 or 20 shots of the same building from essentially the same angle, and then to see the same sequence of shots in 5 or 10 other project threads. The 90% rule should apply to everybody. 1 or 2 shots of a building is adequate--especially for highly covered spots like the one in this thread. And if some distant crane is poking it's head up way in the background is it really necessary to post the same shot in the other crane's thread?
Sometimes less really is more, and brevity can be the soul of wit. (At least that's my opinion, man.) So, uhh, keep up the good work, folks!

True but at least people are trying to share what they could take. So, most of us are thankful just the same, and greatful for their thoughtfulness. Need more like that in this world. They gave a damn to share with you and us all. Keep that in mind.

More is better. Plus if you're one of the guys that spends all the time to go out to all these sites and take the pics, pretty weak if you're told to limit your pics to 2 or 3. I appreciate every pic.
Keep the photos coming. It's one of the things that keeps the site fresh.

Because you know. More pictures of the same thing. (But hey I actually took like 30 so... )

I think it really says something that everyone is taking the same photos of this building and the fountain. If it wasn't successful there would be less photos.

It's Toronto's newest icon--the fountain I mean--combined with the startling architectural variety of the surroundings. Perhaps this is our new "Times Square" and not the uninspired Yonge/Dundas knock off.

The view will get better too. I imagine the Bay Park office buildings will be visible from this park.

And just this morning a very excited tourist asked me to take a photo of him with the fountain (and 88 Scott sneaked in there). It's a popular spot.

Looks like they installed cladding on the second last floor. Disappointing treatment on the middle section...
