What's that appendage on the Kentucky bucket tower (towards the left on the bucket)? Looks like a step ladder.

I'm guessing cleaning equipment.

Also I wish there was something built to block the Hyatt. What a hideous 00's POMO POS it is! Uglies up the view of our nicest new skyscraper. Who knows, maybe the Glenbow can renovate and build a taller addition? One can dream...

They may be the same height but they won't be the same size. Telus and Suncor are skinny compared to the Bow and Brookfield

Telus Sky is going to fill that in beautifully.

Mississauga...not a very attractive skyline at all from here, on it's western edge. [IMG]

What's the difference?

Representing among the very worst of southern Ontario streetscapes. Commie blocks are a blight almost everywhere, but they're especially bleak when cheek by jowl with ramshackle semis or otherwise architecturally-uninteresting single family homes as in the right forefront of this shot.

Hamilton is full of this kind of thing too. It's a clash of the most inept and soul-suckingly awful of North American urbanity.

What's with all the green illumination in Montreal these days. It's so gross!

Rico Rommheim · #**4836** Posted **Jul 2, 2017, 10:58 AM**

Great night shot. Love all that lighting!

The only green I see on this picture, apart for the threes, is from the Old Court House and it appears green on the picture because it uses an outdated fluorescent-base lighting; it's white when you see it in person. The other green light spot comes from the entrance of a utility building in the port, also using fluorescent light.

The only large group of buildings in the city with a truly green lighting scheme is Complexe Desjardins, for obvious corporate reason.
