Henry Moore's Large Two Forms is probably the most popular public sculpture in Toronto, now that Ivor Lewis's statue of Timothy Eaton is less accessible to the public. Part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario, from 1974 to 2017 it stood at the corner of Dundas Street West and McCaul Street, at the northeast corner of the AGO. In 2017 it was moved to Grange Park, which is owned by the AGO, at the southwest end of the gallery.
I only had my least favourite camera with me today (the one on my phone). One of my others might have captured this with fewer artefacts, but it's an abstract, right?, so like it don't matter. Take it from me.
The Bay Wellington Tower is one of two towers at Brookfield Place in Toronto. The architects for both towers were are Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill LLP with Bregman + Hamann Architects. The towers are joined by the Allan Lambert Galleria, whose architect is Santiago Calatrava. The development was completed in 1992.

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The kettle whistling
Or just after.

Thanks to Gisela Plewe. I was reminded of her comment on my next-to-last photo when I saw this, so took a bird's-eye view.
For Sight and Sound, aNNa schramm suggested "You're My Chocolate" by Savages as an accompaniment for this photo. I think it establishes a very interesting and thought-provoking mood for the photo. sp here it is:

Part of the Queen Street elevation of the Toronto Eaton Centre (this section was opened in 1978; the architects were Craig Zeidler Strong Architects with Bregman + Hamann Architects). The bridge at lower left is more recent (2017; WilkinsonEyre Architects and Zeidler Partnership Architects).
The PiPs at lower left show two other photos of the bridge.
