Hey Sis! When did you go to the Ex? You should have let me know and I would have met you there! Oh well, I was probably busy working! I see and hear the Air Show planes zooming over our heads all the time! They're sooooo loud! Ha! Ha! Do they still have the Eukanuba Dog Show in this building? I used to take my son to it every year when it was the Trade Centre. I didn't know they changed its name. Beautiful capture of this wonderful green place with those dark clouds looming above! I always thought this building looked futuristic! This is a cool image of it from a great POV! Good job, Chris! :) #7920976

Hello SIS... I'm sorry, I never called you! This was not planned very well... I took my son, and his friend.. We travelled by Go Train, I was nervous, but we did it.. I actually had to drive to Burlington to the Go, and can you believe at 8:30am there was no parking at this station!!!? I had to park a huge city block away at the new Mall..
Anyways, we got their at 10am, and got in my door at 11:20pm...we went on Mon. Aug. 24th...
ThankS so so much for checking out this image...I agree, it sure looks futuristic!!! Yes, the dogshow was there...the best part, but now it is called SUPERDOGS...

Nicely seen Linda, unusual, so often buildings appear blue, a pleasant surprise to see the green - we have a saying here in NZ "Keep NZ Green" - this image is just so appropriate. Many thanks for the great image and your informative comments Barbara #7936329

Barbara Mason September 12, 2009

Apologies Christine I called you Linda, I'm sure neither you or Linda mind, I was concentrating on the green, looked up and typed Linda. Wonderful Image !!! #7936335

Christine Lobsinger September 12, 2009

You are welcome. There may be more than a few clunkers in my gallery. I need to wean some out. Some of them are uploads to classes I took so they are more about a technique than art per se. And some are shots of others I palyed with. If you check out my architerture and fun shots most of them are good. #8508387

Christine Lobsinger April 03, 2010

I will check out your 'Fun Shots' too..
Happy Easter!
