Yonge Street, Toronto - the world's longest street, they claim...
Two typically tall Toronto towers
The Royal York Hotel. I stayed here 13 years earlier on my last visit to Toronto.
Moose and mother at the CN Tower (one is real...)

Just a couple of panes of glass between my feet and the ground 1,122 feet below...

The Royal Bank Plaza's windows are coated with real gold
Casting a long shadow
The Rogers Centre, formerly the Skydome. The roof opens on sunny days.
Still true, though the CN Tower is no longer the tallest freestanding structure in the world. On 12 September, a Dubai skyscraper became taller. When finished, the Dubai building will be, at 800m (half a mile!), about 250m taller than CN Tower.
Now, how do I get back... the glass panels reveal the ground, over a thousand feet straight down.
