•  Info The three tallest buildings in Canada and some historic interesting historic skyscrapers. The photo is taken from the intersection of Bay Street and King Street West. The intersection of Bay and King Street is often seen as the centre of Canadian banking and finance. Four of Canada's five major banks have office towers at the intersection. I like the composition but also how the images tell a story about 20th century skyscrapers and architecture. From fine Art Deco (Commerce Court North built 1933 and the the tallest building in the British Empire/Commonwealth for roughly three decades) to great examples of International style (Toronto-Dominion Towers from 1967) and Postmodernism (Scotia Plaza from 1988).

    •  Comment Wow, I could never get a steady shot like that unless shutter speed was really fast. I need a tripod for virtually everything. PumpkinSky talk 21:25, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - Why would they be cross at us? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:55, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Because it's being held in Montréal, and they have a huge rivalry with Toronto, not in least because Montréal used to be Canada's financial center. Daniel Case (talk) 23:36, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
