Construction Site in Downtown Toronto

Construction worker reaches for piece of metal suspended by a chain

There is a 50+ story condominium going up across the road from me. I like to complain that it’s blocking my view of the 49 story condominium south of it. And when the 49 story condominium was under construction, I liked to complain that it was blocking my view of the 30 story condominium south of it. And so on down to the lake. Such is life in a city.

One compensation is that the construction offers up no end of visual opportunities for a photographer. Like Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window, I sit by my window with a long lens mounted on a tripod and I scan the scene across the road. I’m looking for action, workers doing things, people in motion.
