Cirque du Soleil is in town with Kooza for the next couple of months, and this year the Big Top has been erected on the 2150 Lake Shore site, better known as the former Mr Christie's cookie factory lands. In this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Full Metal Junkie taken from a high-floor condo just to the west, the Big Top makes a splash on the Etobicoke site that will be transformed into a neighbourhood over the coming years. In the meantime, the circus makes a fun fairground out of the foreground, as Toronto's various skylines animate the horizon.
