CN Tower & Smoke Stack

Len, interesting combination of these two sky puncturing construction. The represents industrial and the other mostly post industrial era. Very graphical and the angle you presented makes it more dynamical. Great result for your efforts!

This being in your backyard, so to speak, I'm not surprised it caught your eye.  I don't think this combo can be duplicated today as I think the smoke stack is gone.  The angle of the elements was more to fit as much as possible into the frame as it was artistic license.  Makes me yearn for summer again.  :-)  Best, LM.

Nice comparison ,in the both engineering and purpose perspective,though the lack of any foundation have abolished the size comparison ratio.

I guess the reason I took this was to compare the old and new technologies.  There was too much ground clutter for a decent composition so I decided this disembodied approach was best.  The smoke stack was much closer to me so a distorted comparison would have resulted anyway.  Great point though.  Thanks for your most welcome visit.  Best, LM.

Your constructive comments\critiques will be gratefully received.

Best, LM.

Nice

Thanks for taking the time.  I see you are new to PN.  Try posting some photos and see what comes back to  you in the way of comments\critiques.  Best, LM.

Then there might be a political thing here:  a tower from which smoke might come next to a tower that could  emit "smoke screens".... could  even be more diabolical in b&w..   ):-)

Politically, the one on the right was doomed.  Smoke hadn't passed through it for some years at the time I took this shot.  I think difference in the construction technologies is interesting.  About 100 years apart.  Thanks for your thoughts.  Best, LM.
