These are some shots of Trono's landmark "Captain John":
But my intention is to present to you C.J.'s totally UNUSUAL
new "TENANT"...













By the way, many years ago as a child I was few times passenger on this
ship @ the Adriatic sea (which lies between Italy & Croatia), before it
sailed to Terrono to be the restaurant...memories,memories...



THE NEW TENANT IS ON THE STERN, RIGHT UNDER THE STAIRS AS YOU'LL
SEE IN THE NEXT PIC:






HEHEHEHE...WHAT A PASSENGER...

Buildings as far as the eye can see..



Aerial View of Toronto's growth in 1957 (1st) and 1989 (2nd). The green areas represent the non-built up areas

Nice find skybean...I especially find the one where all the office buildings have their lights on to be a really cool shot....rarely are all the buildings lit up at once like that.

That's the CN tower during window washing. It involves a long ladder and a pulley system. The whole top comes down and the windows are washed.






















Actually, I believe it's the Enwave Walton Street Steam Plant on 95 Walton.
See Toronto's Chimney's on Emporis.
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/bu/o...t=6&ht=2&sro=1

Tallest Toronto Chimney is Ashbridges Chimney 1 @ 261m / 857 ft

I was just asking what that building was that looked unfinished. Not that it looks bad, It actually kind of looks good where it is.

^What I was implying is that it would help if you reposted the picture in your post so that somebody could tell you.

Ya but then I'd have to count how many pictures it is from the top or bottom , Then i'd have to delete them and then write a post about it and make sure it was the right pic and If it wasnt I'd have to re write.

It you're talking about this picture http://img94.exs.cx/img94/400/227551...oIMG_1222a.jpg



That structure just left of Scotia Plaza is the Hospital for Sick Children's incinerator. It might also house back-up power systems, I'm not sure. It's north of the CBD just east of University Blvd behind the HSC.
