It's enjoyable to eat lunch in the staff room there.
Nice shot. I love how you manage to capture such magnificent skies.
Posted by Kristian at July 8, 2007 01:17 PMIsn't this the McLaughlin Planetarium? Though I guess it was closed a long time ago. What is it used for now?
Interesting architectural mix. Each styles is different. The yellow firehydrant and the yellow newspaper boxes are well balanced. The walking person as a counter weight helps blance them--just about evenly spaced from the news boxes. The old building is the most interesting feature. So many chimneys; it must have been built before central gas heating was available.
Interesting photo, a unique take on a famous Toronto spot.

Posted by zydeco fish at July 9, 2007 10:00 AMThe ROM uses that planetarium as storage.
Posted by mogo at July 9, 2007 12:51 PMStorage? That's the best they can think of?! How many doctorate degrees do the people working in that museum need, before they can find a better use for a great building like that? What a shameful waste--talk about poor management.
