Despite decades of urban development in and around the Financial District, First Canadian Place has remained the tallest building in Canada since its completion 40 years ago. In today's Photo of the Day, submitted to the UrbanToronto Flickr Pool by Empty Quarter, we are shown an unobstructed southwest-facing view of the surrounding cityscape captured from an upper floor at the 72-storey office tower.
