changing townscape--yonge and bloor

the view from the wendell castle time piece, looking south to the intersection of yonge and bloor. what was an interesting piece of accidental townscape is has disappeared behind a new condominium.

the repetition of the zigzag on the sculptured clock and the stepped building wall in the distance gave this intersection something more than the individual buildings add up to.

this has been lost except where the engineers have stepped the new buildings yonge street side with three balconys.
