There were more buildings in Toronto I thought were neat but I didn't get great photos of them, so ending on this one of the CN tower peeking out from behind the Sheraton.
A view of the CN Tower just barely showing between the Sheraton and 130 Adelaide W, looking south from Nathan Philips Square with the skating pool in the foreground. Toronto, Ontario 2025

Buildings I saw in Toronto and thought were neat #2: The Sheraton across from City Hall, especially the podium that steps out over the sidewalk with each floor. Bonus HBC plaque with googly-eyes a block down the road.
Looking south at the Sheraton on Queen St W, Toronto. A bronze plaque with the words "Hudson's Bay Company, Incorporated 2nd May 1670", with the HBC coat of arms above. The moose on the coat of arms have had googly-eyes stuck to them.

Cat.
Dr You, a tuxedo cat, relaxed on his back while being held by me. One pose is up in the air and pushing his whiskers up, giving him a slight smirk.

Didn't realize until years later that Colville's To Prince Edward Island was being referenced on the back cover of Rush's Power Windows, one of my favourite albums.
Alex Colville's 1965 painting, To Prince Edward Island. It shows a woman on a ferry, looking through binoculars at the viewer. The back album cover for Rush's 1985 album, Power Windows. It shows a man looking through binoculars at the viewer.

Fountain's crooked.
The Saskatchewan Legislative Building taken from across Wascana Lake. There's a fountain on the water in the foreground shooting water into the air. The fountain is tilted slightly, angling the water to the right.

Trying to learn Blender, here's Regina City Hall if it was 100 floors tall for some reason.
