Is it underground? I'm thinking it's in the PATH system somewhere.

cellophanedeity · 01-03-2006, 11:01 AM

It is underground, but not the PATH

cellophanedeity · 01-03-2006, 11:04 AM

a bit of a hint for you!

Charlatan · 01-03-2006, 11:28 AM

Downsview subway station (I knew I recognized those tiles).

Charlatan · 01-03-2006, 11:34 AM

fresnelly · 01-03-2006, 12:01 PM

Zamboni at the City Hall/Nathan Phillips Square Ice-Rink!

Charlatan · 01-03-2006, 12:37 PM

Game on...

fresnelly · 01-03-2006, 01:34 PM

Oh, goody! I've been looking for an excuse to post this shot. I took it about 10 years ago and scanned it in, just for this.

Charlatan · 01-03-2006, 01:37 PM

I know but will let someone else answer.

Leto · 01-03-2006, 01:46 PM

CN Tower? But I believe that this is the view from the top of the observation deck, up to the Space Deck????

How did you get that?

At the meetup, we shared our worst job experiences. This one ranks as one of my coolest.

I worked a few days doing maintenance (changing lenses, bulbs etc...) on the big search lights that illuminate the sides of the tower at night.

One day I brought up a camera. I took a series of photos, so if you want to see more, just pm me, because I don't want to threadjack.

OK, maybe a little threadjack.

(That's me at work!)

Leto · 01-03-2006, 08:40 PM

That must have been an incredible job. what a view. was it windy on the edge?

OK: here is my next one (it's a bit artsy):

Charlatan · 01-04-2006, 06:46 AM

Nice shot!

Nathan Phillips Square looking South East.

Fresnelly... what a cool job! I was thinking it must have had something to do with lights. Did you have saftey lines and how strong was the urge to jump?

Thanks! that was the start of the Run for the Cure last September. I like the effect...

Your picture is the Ceiling of the Rotunda at the Museum (ROM)..

here's one from last summer:

In the past 10 years, "Fall Arrest" regulations and guidelines have changed A LOT, which is a good thing. At the time, we weren't wearing any sort of harnessess, but I wasn't in jeopardy. The lights are mounted inside those cylinders, which are inside the guywire fence.

The first day we were tip toeing around carefully, but by the last day, the novelty had worn off and we just went about our business. It was never that windy, because they wouldn't let us up there if the weather was bad. Interestingly, it would be windy on one side, but not the others. Also, you couldn't hear the traffic at all.

One day a big Army transport plane buzzed the tower, and on another we could see a storm front moving in (at our level) so we got the hell out of there. The underground complex was also pretty cool; kind of like being in the Death Star

OK two last pics:

(Note the undeveloped rail lands to the west)

Charlatan · 01-04-2006, 10:11 AM

...and Exhibition Stadium is still standing, it doesn't look like the Convention Centre has been built yet and I think the Haida is still at the Quay.

I love this sort of thing. That area has seen so many changes in the past few years (sadly not all of it for the best).

fresnelly · 01-04-2006, 10:52 AM

Leto: Is that somewhere along the Niagara River?

Leto · 01-04-2006, 05:34 PM

not there, wrong 'Falls'. It is east of Toronto, on hwy 35... that hint should 'lock' it up.

Charlatan · 01-04-2006, 06:22 PM

Fenelon Falls?

Charlatan · 01-05-2006, 06:52 AM

My brother lives in Lindsay (just south of Fenelon Falls) and my Dad used to live just East of Sunderland (just south of Manilla in a little place called Cresswell). We used to go to the falls when I was a kid and go swimming.

This might be a bit too local but I am sure someone will get it.

Leto · 01-05-2006, 07:30 AM

hmmm... trying to look at the reflection in the door/window...

a stumper.

fresnelly · 01-05-2006, 07:50 AM

I'm pretty sure that's out front of the Beaches Branch Library on Queen St. E. The owl statue is just as cool as the big ones on the Lillian H. Smith Branch on College.

Charlatan · 01-05-2006, 07:57 AM

game on fresnelly...

fresnelly · 01-05-2006, 08:07 AM

Not in Toronto:

Charlatan · 01-05-2006, 09:24 AM

I could be wrong but that looks like the Tug Boat race in Sault Ste. Marie... I think one of those boats might be my cousin's.

BigBen · 01-05-2006, 09:51 AM

And you guys out east are wondering why us Westerners feel neglected and unloved?

I haven't been able to get one of those places yet.

Yes, I realize it is a big country.

Bad new for Charlatan, but Good news for Bigben: This is in a major Western Canadian city.

Charlatan · 01-05-2006, 10:20 AM

Another bridge

BigBen · 01-05-2006, 01:37 PM

You beautiful, beautiful man.

I love you.

That picture is a shot of the Broadway bridge in Sunny Saskatoon. Taken from the picturesque east bank.

BigBen · 01-05-2006, 01:46 PM

And lets get a little bit specific here folks... I want the ROOM that this is in, not just the place.

(feeling malicious here)

james t kirk · 01-05-2006, 01:47 PM

Wow, thanks to Charlattan for teaching me how to post a photo.

Here's a reverse view of a very famous Canadian landmark that I took a couple of years ago whilst working there.
