 Taken from the SkyPod of the CN Tower on my 2nd trip in 10 days!

I'm kinda anticipating comments like "this isn't really an unusual viewpoint" or something similar. But I think it's an unusual viewpoint since it was taken from the highest public observation deck in the world. Let the voters decide!

Making us folks that have never been to Toronto work to find out this was taken from the CN Tower Skypod, huh? It worked. Nice image.

I like the angle this was taken from, the centered feeling of the buildings, and I think you've got just the right amount of sky in the shot. Very well composed.

Great shot. I like the composition and angle used here. Detail is great also. The colors seem a little washed out, but otherwise really nice photo.
