Sorry dude. Pretty sure that's Bathurst/Lakeshore/Fleet
Posted by Mike Jespersen at February 20, 2011 06:11 AMGreat pic as usual, though it is the Bathurst and Fleet/Lakeshore intersection. The old Loblaws building is a dead giveaway. ;-)

Yee-HAH! What a wake-up call.
I *know* that they aren't going to crash - they could be immobile for all I know - it's a photograph, right, not a movie.
Nonetheless with all the current hoo-hah about the TTC this is an eye-opener for Sunday morning.
Love it.
Posted by Clarence Johnson at February 20, 2011 09:28 AMCool shot! I like the perspective, symmetry, and color.
Posted by RA at February 20, 2011 10:13 AMExcellent composition in dueling reds. I love the symmetry and balance. And the fascinating play of lines. Great photograph!
Posted by Doug Hickok at February 20, 2011 10:15 AMI too thought they were going to crash, then I studied the tracks and the streetcars and saw that they are going in the same direction. One was running behind schedule? It is very cool. you must have had your camera ready!
Posted by Lisa at February 20, 2011 12:16 PMThere is a tension in this photograph that is unnerving and compelling. I suppose the tension comes from the two vehicles pointed at each other and the tight wires above. You get the feeling that this is a moment before the moment. Very good photo!
Posted by Nigel Wright at February 20, 2011 12:34 PMBeautiful! And it's great that the building is going to be renovated and repurposed, including a Loblaws.
Posted by Michael at February 20, 2011 01:30 PMCool! A marionette play, starring streetcars and a funky old building!
This is an amazing capture. There's a hovering, almost non-human balance in the composition, with the overhead lines and curving track leading -- on a finer scale -- to the bold effects of colour and perspective.
The absence of people increases the sense that something eerie is going on. Insectoid, maybe?
Your pictures are great, Sam. Most of them work both on a narrative level and as great compositions. Your technique is less easy to pretend we understand but we know we're in the hands of a master.
