October 22 Night Picture

Taken from the east side of Rogers Centre. Similar to an earlier picture a few weeks ago, but they have many more interior lights on now. I really like how the ceilings appear curved, though perhaps it is just an artifact of the window system.

Thanks for the photos. Does anyone know how buildings with fins like Telus get their windows cleaned?
 
October 24 Pictures

There was quite a bit of work going on today on the sidewalk area on the north side. Here is a sign post:

The Union Station sign is now finished and some of the blue fencing has been removed:

Note that there is in fact black cladding on both ends. My previous picture last week cut if off by accident:

Overall it looks pretty good. Judging from the facing surfaces of the letters, the light will come out of the sides which could look pretty interesting at night.
 
There was a very brief MOL shutdown after the second last pane of glass for the facade fell 28 floors during installation... Fortunately no one was hurt.
 
There was a pretty severe windstorm, I believe in early May, in which glass fell from the tower. I'm not sure if it's the same incident. I only remember this because I was at the corner of York and Bremner when it happened and it was terrifying..
