3. What a lucky break,
that you with your love of architecture and knowledge of how to capture it in your photos get to live in such a city!

Great presentations and reminders of what's out there to someone like me in a little Southern town.
It makes me take deeeeeep breaths to scroll down and groove with the heights.

Favorites:
Two and four and all the others
:)

4. Very tall!
Commerce Court reminds me of my favourite movie, Metropolis. It's very retro-futuristic, if you know what I mean.

5. This makes me want to LOOK UP!
Love the way the light plays off the buildings, especially Brookfield Place.

6. These are great JeffR.
Scrolling down threw your series gives even more emphasis to these building.

My favorite is Bay Adelaide Centre/Trump Tower. Not only is the reflection an added bonus, I can see the crane on top of the Trump Tower.

8. Fantastic shots
I especially like the second one. The way the colour of the top of the building on the left matches the sky colour. It gives the reflection much more presence.
