I enjoy the lights and the lighting in this - from the light bouncing off the concrete structures, to the headlights shining from the cars. I really like the luminance going all the way back until it reaches the bright red object in the very back. This is truly a creative bit of thinking - not surprised by that at all, Sam.

Great photo!

sam, i seriously think the oranges are way oversaturated in this one. the car's lights are way abnormal in color, not considering the road marks at all.

I love your photoblog and visit it almost everyday. Just a bit of that 'constructive criticism'.

Interesting... Have they put these things for decoration or is it an unfinished work of some sort?

I love it. I remember seeing those columns for the first time the evening I moved to Toronto, on the ride from the airport to my place. The guy who was driving me explained that they were the supports for a portion of elevated expressway that had been taken down.

insert Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" as background music ;)

Les piétons sont bien protégés des automobilistes....très virtuel...

bonne journée

What is this? It looks like you have the supports for a bridge.

I think you should have called this T-i, i like it.

Hah I've never seen that before? Is that incomplete construction or art?

Looks like I may be the first to post for you today. Sorry to be the first comment and not be a good one. This is not a very interesting image to me. It looks very much like a snapshot that was taken while riding down the path. The columns would make a great subject matter if photographed in a different way. Had I taken this shot while at Brooks Institute, the teachers would have eaten me alive. For instance, too many distracting elements. My eye has a hard time settling on the main subject of the columns. I think yesterdays shot had a much better use of preexisting architecture contrasted with other elements (trash bags) Sorry, I just don't think this one meets up there with the quality shots you have been posting. Please do take my words as an opinion though as we all have our own perspectives.

nice shot, but still not nearly as nice as your other stuff

I like how they left these pillars behind after taking down parts of the Gardiner. They're sort of new age ruins. I also like how you're always able to find original subject matter.

Plus the colours of the photograph are just great, especially the orange that takes your eye up and along the photo.

Great stuff! Once again, thanks for sharing.

I like it. The Orange light kinnda gets on my nerves, how did/how come you made it orangy? None the less, you still have a great eye for shots. Keep it up!

Cool Sam:
Keep it up ;)

This photo must be panoramic.

la grosse classe,comme d'habitude...

Cool shot. You could have also lengthened the shutter for just enough for a car to come past that gap. It could have also lightened up the shot. Cool as it is though.

That color is really surreal. Makes Toronto look like a weird place. Nice!

once again... everybody seem to be enthusiastic....!

once again it's a nice pic, but not THAT nice. Very average... like the garbagesthe day before.

i coming on the site, because the are some pic which are really stunning, intersesting or beautiful.... but please STOP saying everything is here is great !!!!!!!

i like the aesthetics of yellow/orange: the reflection of headlights on the left pillars, the orange stripe down the middle of the path and then orange blaring headlights to the right...not lopsided feeling to me but instead balanced hues of light throughout. i have yet to apply my usual philosophical metaphor to the pic. this one i just like for what i see...

reminds me of mccormic blvd of chicago + evanston
cept a bit more straight. this is a very cool shot

somehow the green the grey and the tan colors make a strange repeating neverending pathway (cant think of a word to describe) cool thing...

i dont think i made any sense.

I love this pic. It's not dull at all because of the oversaturated lights and the orange lines are wonderful. May you burn like a red jalapeño in the stomachs of the know-nothings who would eat you alive.

f

great perspective,would look great at night on a long exposure maybe? but nice yeah

this is a KEWL COOL HOTSHOT!
definitely a location with lots of potential and variety.

looks like you've been "farked" ...

The Gardiner East Public Art Project is a community-based public art project developed and overseen by Toronto-based artist John McKinnon.

The restored group of 19 columns that remain from the dismantling of the East Gardiner Expressway form a design that encompasses all sides of Lake Shore Boulevard East, heading west of Leslie Street.

The restored columns have an additional role in the public art component. Stainless steel panels with selected photo-etched contemporary and historical images of the area are affixed to four of the columns. The panels depict contemporary images by photographer Peter MacCallum, documenting the dismantling process and historical photos provided by the local community and the City of Toronto Archives.

yes, iteresting...never knew~is a plus..!!!
