Occasional Toronto: Sunny Day At City Hall

Sunny Day At City Hall

I always love to see our City Hall - it is such a unique structure. It was designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell after he won an international design competition for the project, and opened in 1965. The square if front of the hall is used for many events and right now the big attraction is still the WeiWei zodiac heads in the reflecting pool.
I am still travelling so auto-posts continue, I hope.
