1. hey, these are nice
I really like the garden roof.



Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by broiling?

2. Temps were in the low 80s (an improvement over the past few weeks)
but the humidity was insane and there wasn't a hint of a breeze except around some of the office towers. Perhaps I should have used the term "parboiling" instead.:)

3. Great tour around town!
I love scrolling down on that last one. The optical illusion is really cool.


























I'm so glad you're back! :hug:

4. Great photos.
Especially City Hall with the soft rounded "angles", and of course the "One King West" reflection. I took a few "reflection" shots the other day too, and they are fun, but challenging - which is good!

Thanks for sharing your photos. Your work is always an inspiration.

5. A City tour par excellence -
you could, of course, illustrate the architecture calendar all by yourself. I like them all but especially the grille, and like Hippiewife said, the scroll down on the last one makes me smile, that's a lot of fun.
