From today. The scale of the building and the vantage point from Berczy park are kind of giving me NYC vibes for some reason. Super cool.

​ ​ ​ Construction Notice Bay Street Weekend Closure for Pedestrian Bridge Installation Dear Neighbours, Over the weekend of November 10 to 12, 2023, we will be installing a pedestrian bridge connecting Union Station and 141 Bay Street as part of our Phase II construction at CIBC SQUARE. As a result, Bay Street between Front Street West and Lake Shore Boulevard West will be closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic beginning 7 pm on Friday, November 10, 2023 and remain closed through Saturday, November 11 and Sunday, November 12, reopening by 5:00 am on Monday, November 13. We are working with the City of Toronto, Metrolinx and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) to facilitate the closure to minimize disruption to the neighbourhood and ensure we can complete this work safely. Once complete, this pedestrian bridge will connect 141 Bay Street directly into Union Station. It is one of several public realm improvements that are part of the 141 Bay Street development. Others include an elevated public park that bridges across the rail corridor connecting 141 Bay Street to Phase I of CIBC SQUARE (81 Bay Street), a second pedestrian bridge connecting across Yonge Street into Backstage Condominiums, and a fully renovated pedestrian laneway connecting Yonge Street and Bay Street. We thank you in advance for your patience during this weekend closure. If you have any questions pleas reach out to us at community@CIBCSQUARE.com. ​

These and all your other aerial shots are fabulous!

I'm curious about the airplane. Are you chartering from YTZ / YKZ or are you the pilot?

Also based upon the excellent image resolution I'm guessing you're shooting with a DSLR and a good lens?

Keep taking and posting these excellent photos!

Toronto tour.
I believe they are moving to the island any day as Buttonville is closing.

​ i can’t figure out how to get rid of this box.

Canon R6 24-240mm RF lens with a (Scratched) polarizing filter for the window glare and a little touch up in Lightroom.
And probably a damaged camera body IBIS.

The windows were a little dirty but I probably could have given them a quick wipe before take-off. Rookie mistake.
I’ve posted these over ~10 different threads. I have some more pictures but less exciting stuff left.

The CIBC Square pedestrian bridge is being delivered at the foot of Jarvis street tonight:

Where is it going into on the Union Station side?

...those things look like they could relocate the CN Tower, goodness.

Where is it going into on the Union Station side?

It's supposed to connect directly into the second floor (some details here). That said, the Union Station side has no hole (as of this morning), so the phasing is very different from the Phase 1 bridge.
