There's no canyon in the world more famous than the Grand Canyon in the southwestern United States. At least 5 million years old, it's not exactly being challenged by a relatively young canyon in Toronto, Ontario, but the whippersnapper here is getting noticeably deeper all the time. In this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor wmedia, a pair of cranes for new buildings along Yonge Street bracket the densifying urban canyon pictured here: in the foreground a crane stands over the podium of CIBC SQAURE phase 2, and in the background a crane rises high over The One.

Yonge Street is becoming evermore the canyon in Downtown Toronto as more skyscrapers rise on either side of it, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor wmedia
