This is a gorgeous, overwhelming sculpture which dominates the space it occupies. This made it very difficult to get an establishing shot.

You can sort of see here how it's reflected in the building next to it. It's sort of surrounded by glass which reflects it and adds to the effect.

Later I walked past it at night and found it rather haunting.

For those of you interested, a lemony tour of some of Toronto's landmarks is up over on the Lemon's journal. http://hunt-the-lemon.livejournal.com/3779.html

Ooo, that is pretty! Is it in Toronto?
