That building - originally called the Lee Tower - looked out of place, completely out of keeping with the neighborhood, from the time it was built, in the early 1960s. Now someone's turned it into even more of an eyesore. Fortunately, the city is finally going after the vandals who put up these kind of graphics. It's not art, it's not free speech - it's pollution, pure and simple. February 28, 2010
Tour CIBC, Montreal's 3rd tallest skycraper, is sandwiched between the two tallest, 1000 de La Gauchetière and 1250 René-Lévesque. It was completed in 1964 and has a very rectangular architectural design (known as "International style"). It stands at 190 metres and 47 floors, and is connected to Montreal's underground city.
It also looks almost exactly the same as Denver's tallest building, The Republic Plaza

The City motto is "urbs in horto" but the photo shows the opposite: A garden in the city instead of a city in a garden.
Venice day 5 of our Cosmos tour, October 4, 2012.
Venice is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks.The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.
Venice is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000 in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni of Mestre and Marghera; 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE), with a total population of 1,600,000. PATREVE is only a statistical metropolitan area without degree of autonomy.
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century BC. The city historically was the capital of the Venetian Republic. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man". Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.
The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history. It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.

At a commercial complex in bangalore. Didn't have my wide angle lens, so shot 24 images at 30mm, stiched them all in Microsoft ICE (best thing ever, btw)
Not proud of the whole thing at all. There are bunch of compositing errors. Am not bothered to photoshop them. I would rather do the whole thing over. It was fun though. I am in love with photo compositing.
Obviously no EXIF :) 24 x 30mm @ f/2.8
I rarely go out to take the photos at night, but on last weekend, I went to the gallery of photo exhibition and after that, I took a walk with some flickr friends of mine. That's fun!! :D
