Really strange architecture way above my head

Another day in the big city, another oddly turned view of one of the many buildings that marks my way to and from the office. I figure if I'm walking past them regularly, I may as well shoot them - and the weirder the angle, the better.

This one is a fairly new, super-tall addition to the Yonge Street streetscape. And is often the case in architecture these days, it's relatively thin. I hear it's a fashion thing.

Be that as it may, I kept bracketing the cross-section with my fingers, looking for ways to shoot it without it looking like it would blow away in the wind. I'm sure the engineers have figured all that stuff out, of course, but aesthetically, I wanted to look at it in a way most folks have not. Because doing my own thing is, apparently, my thing.

I don't know if I've succeeded, but I like how this little architectural story of mine has started. I think I'll be back on this stretch of sidewalk before long.
