Merry Christmas from Toronto - a photo on Flickriver

            Have you noticed that the number of photos from the CN tower at night has significantly dropped? Ever wondered why? It's because of the tower's own lights.

The LEDs that run the height of the tower are a great touch and a marvel to look at from the outside. However, to a photographer from the inside, its the worst possible scenario... Glare Galore.

This photograph was taken literally seconds before the LEDs came on, after that, it was a lost cause. I love this photo though, it's easily one of my favourites. Taken from the "skypod" of the CN Tower, Enjoy!

I wish you all on Flickr a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
