I was here

New City Hall (1965) in the background. It is usually attributed to Viljo Revell, but he thought his colleagues Heikki Castren, Bengt Lundsten, and Seppo Valjus should also be credited.

It was a grainy day yesterday at Dundas Square in Toronto. For me, anyway.

This square has New City Hall on the north side and Old City Hall on the east (well, across Bay Street); neither is shown here. Nathan Phillips was the mayor who was instrumental in getting New City Hall and its square built. There's a photo of New City Hall and the square in the comments.

Commemorating visits to Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto. This is better seen large, I think; click on the pic or type Z.

This has appeared before, but with the eyes of all the statues masked, I've grown out of that phase now.

The west elevation of Old City Hall (a description of which is provided with the previous shot) seen from Nathan Phillips Square. I once saw a tourist bus park on Queen Street in front of New City Hall (out of shot to the left); the first thing every person who got out of the bus did, however, was take some photos of Old City Hall. I have a winter version of this shot, with the pond transformed into a skating rink, that will no doubt appear eventually. It's summer now, though, so I took a new one today.
