There are some interesting landmarks in Toronto and the surrounding area. Of course the CN Tower and beside it, the Skydome (well Rogers Centre now but everyone still calls it Skydome). My own photo:
http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/a...0725001341.jpg Old City Hall. It's now a provincial courthouse: http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/a..._1723968_o.jpg City Hall, right next door: http://www.toronto4stay.com/dtjpg/cityhall1.jpg First Canadian Place (white building, my own photo from the CN Tower). Tallest skyscraper in Canada, at 90 floors (I think). http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps833ee083.jpg Queen's Park, Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Right in the middle of the University of Toronto campus, and so this landmark is consistently flanked by student protesters, as you can see. http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps5701ffa2.jpg One of my favourite landmarks is the Flatiron Building, actually called the Gooderham Building. http://www.torontoisawesome.com/wp-c...9/IMG_5353.jpg |

Penshaw Monument brings with it a great sense of familiarity and safety for me. I think that has a lot to do with the ability to see it from a great distance, so if I travel I always know I'm nearly home when I see this on the skyline. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/image...92131_sage.jpg The Sage in Gateshead is a modern concert hall. They have two large halls, and a separate, smaller gig venue. Its really spacious inside too, so they have a bar, a cafe, and often various exhibitions in the interior and the foyer. They have also had some festivals and gigs outside, which is nice as it stands along the river Tyne which separates Gateshead from Newcastle. http://www.getintonewcastle.co.uk/wp...ge-680x265.jpg http://www.lightwave-print.co.uk/gal...ews/LW0009.jpg This is an eye-sore, but we're told it's "kind of a big deal". I think the Angel of the North is still the largest sculpture in England or something stupid. All I know is you can drive along the A1 towards or away from Newcastle and if you're with someone who isnt from the area and familiar with it, will undoubtedly ask what the **** it is. http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl...1/img/laun.jpg And this is, uh, a sculpture made out of shopping trolleys, next to The Telegraph pub in Newcastle. I dont think theres anything else to say about that. |
Cost millions of taxpayers' Euro, nobody likes it, represents nothing except the Irish Government giving its people the largest finger in the world!
