If you're gonna make a box.... make a damn good box.

Crystal Blu is getting up there so where's the glass. I'm curious if it will be actually blue or the green as some have mentioned. The strange glass crystals embedded in the limestone are blue.

nice shot of MLS and Telus, posted by Redroom Studios at UT...

caltrane74 · #**1605** Posted **Aug 20, 2009, 3:22 PM**

redroom took that shot..

but I invented that angle..

Since I took that shot, there three UT'ers have taken a photo from that exact spot on the esplanade.....

I must admit, it's a sweet angle to take a picture of MLS and Telus...

here is my shot from about a week and a half ago...

If you 'invented' that angle, you should have 'patented' it, that way whenever other photographers take pics from your 'invention', they'll have to pay you royalties...

i'm like an athlete. i'm risking my life for those babies (and pissing off alot of other drivers, lol).
money would be acceptable compensation.

Hey!!! i found another thread

Hey Guys... Here is the promised update for the Yorkville area... Went down there TODAY so these are fresh photos... This might be one of my last updates before school starts because I'll be busier

... But I still will try to get some shots whenever possible... I promise to get you guys some updates of the Financial District are (ex. Trump, Ritz, etc...) later on this week or the next...

Enjoy

- steveve

Here is a shot of Murano/College Park from the Varsity Stadium... This location has AMAZING views of the whole skyline... I totally recommend this spot for panoramic shots!!!!!! - it's very smoggy there a lot of the time though... So always check the whether...

Here is a shot of the financial district skyline also from the Varsity Standium... Look closely and you'll see the Ritz!!!

Here is One Bedford on Bloor... It's getting really tall...

**PS.. Exhibit (by Bazis) has a sign on a building right beside Museum House Condo... I guess they plan to demolish that Mcdonalds and other restaurants across from the ROM... so sad... And isn't Bazis screwed from 1 Bloor??? lol

Here is BSN... it's almost done... Look closely in the bottom right corner and hey... There's X Condo!!!... (X condo is about 35 stories up already)

Casa and BSN...

BSN:

*** One Bloor looks more and more dead...

Here is Uptown Residences and Crystal Blu... Crystal Blu is looking really tall now.... And Casa is in the background

Crystal Blu:

Here is a nice shot i took of Manulife, Crystal Blu, and Uptown... It really shows how tall Crystal Blu is and how congested that area is gonna be when they are completed... Gotta love it

Last but not least Four Seasons... A large chunk of the site is above ground as seen in this picture...

I hope you all enjoyed this... And i'll have the other half (financial district) ready soon... Let me know what shots you like and ones you don't... And any suggestions

All photos by me: steveve
