This is a shot looking east from the Skypod of the CN Tower. I took it back in October 9th, 2007. It was the second year of Nuit Blanche an all night "Art Thing" sponsored by Scotia Bank. Various venues were open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m around downtown Toronto. You could see artwork, musicians and other performers. It's quite a popular event.
This was the second and last year they opened up the CN Tower to visitors. You had to sign up in advance. You could book a free one-hour time slot to go as high up as the Skypod (which usually costs extra on top of the regular fee). The view up there was really cool. The streets glowed bright orange from the streetlights illuminating them. One annoying thing about trying to take photos from up there was the lights they had lighting up the Tower. They would shine brightly upwards once every 10 seconds or so. So if you had your camera set for a long exposure it would mess it up. You had to shoot in between as the lights flashed on and off.
There were also coloured lights that illuminated the Tower. They were neat in a way. They would light up your shots in various hues which made them look pretty cool. You can check out the rest of my shots from this evening here.
