Sun dog - circular halo Wiki

Atmospheric optical phenomena like halos were part of weather lore, which was an empiricalmeans of weather forecasting before meteorology was developed. They often do indicate that rain will fall within the next 24 hours, since the cirrostratus clouds that cause them can signify an approaching frontal system

Not a job for me but it makes for interesting pictures.
I was talking to another window washer on the street and he had the same opinion. Interesting that the gear is so expensive. $500, $500, $500 for every item on the belt and ropes probably $2,000.

A little sun dog.

A team effort.

I assume the cladding was not designed for this but it seems to work.

I wonder if or when this BMU will ever be used.

A bonus shot. First time I’ve seen the “dirty” chain in use. Maybe they’ll clean this next.

Not really... (Wiki)

The L Tower (also known as the Libeskind Tower) is a residential skyscraper in Toronto, Ontario, Canada designed by architect Daniel Libeskind. The project, which broke ground in mid-October 2009, saw many delays. One cause for delay was a stop-work order caused by safety concerns about the crane at the top of the building. The crane was also considered an eyesore for many residents.[7][8][9] Despite the cranes (which were removed by May 2016 and September 2018 respectively), the building still won the eighth place Emporis Skyscraper Award in 2017.[10][11]

You could say it’s 15, but that’s only when it broke ground. Usually when we refer to buildings ages, we refer to the date they opened. Take a look at TD Canada Trust Tower, it was proposed 1986, it started construction 1987, and finished 1990. When we say its age, we say it was built in 1990, rather than 1986 or 1987.

Another nearby building, 25 The Esplanade. Proposed 1986, broke ground 1986, topped out 1988, fully opened 1989. Some sources say 1988 while others say 1989.
