Had some people over and they were mesmerized by the lights from Aura. It does look pretty at night with the lights beaming.

I don't understand why the testing for the lights takes so long. What is involved that makes this such a lenghty process? What are they doing each night while the lights are on? Additionally, I wonder the rounded portion of the building wasn't carried throughout the entire design. It would have made the building much more attractive. Those rectangular portions on the east and west sides are horrid. Lastly, the roof would have looked better if it was identical on both sides. The overlapping effect that is visible from the west looks really bad The lighting also looks odd from the west, as there a is a large break in the rhythm of the light fixtures where the roof shifts in opposite directions.

It looks really great from Nathan Philips square. Mimics the shape of city hall.

Maura please and always

What is the point of that concrete pier that juts out into the harbour?

What is the point of that concrete pier that juts out into the harbour?

It no longer serves a purpose to the best of my knowledge, but it is one of the best little known spots in the whole city.

Phew, those were gorgeous. Is that off the island? Especially like the one with your dog. Give that little man/ladyu some love for me.
