the intersection of light and lines - a photo on Flickriver

the intersection of light and lines

suppose my eye should miss the intersection... or should think I saw it... or saw it but started seeing more and more... is that where poetry comes from? For me, that's the case... or the perception... or the misperception. It is, however, where imagination dwells.

the Toronto CN Tower from Queen's Quay: Once the pouring of the concrete was completed on February 22, 1974, the final stages of building the world's tallest Tower were about to begin.

The last thing to be added to the Tower was the 102 metre (335 foot) steel broadcasting antenna, consisting of 44 pieces - the heaviest weighing 7.26 metric tonnes (8 tons).

Before the antenna could be lifted, however, the giant crane used for four years of round-the-clock service to build the Tower would have to be dismantled and brought down.

To do all this moving, "Olga" - a 10 ton Sikorsky helicopter used primarily for industrial lifting - was flown to Toronto.

And on her first trip, tragedy almost struck. www.cntower.ca/en-ca/about-us/history/topping-of-tower.html
