Sun Life Centre, West Tower, Toronto

The Sun Life Centre (WZMH Architects, 1984) consists of two buildings on the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection of King Street and University Avenue. The buildings seem at first glance to be mirror images of each other, but this one is 24 storeys tall and its companion has 28 storeys. Many people complain about the proliferation of overhead wires in Toronto, but they make me feel as if I'm living in a sculpture. Which I enjoy.

The big view is grainy but I like it better (click the pic or type Z to see if you agree). The PiP on the right edge of the photo shows my reflection, and by deduction how much I cropped this. That and some relentless sharpening probably accounts for the grain.

I think this looks better big, I think because of the the black background. Type Z or click the pic to see if you agree. Or not -- like I'm not ordering ya, eh? Just saying.
