The CN tower | La tour CN

We may discuss whether Toronto is the most cosmopolitan city or not (see the previous post), but anyone may hardly argue that the CN tower is currently the second tallest "free-standing structure on land" in the world:)

I haven't been on the top yet, still waiting for a perfect weather to see the Europe:)

Few interesting facts
- the CN tower is 553m high
- the construction was finished in 1976
- until 12th Sep 2007 it was the tallest structure in the world... then a sky scraper Burj Dubai (still in construction) took the lead:)

A "panorama picture" made from 4 photos. Following the darker break, you may see what I was able to fit within the bottom photo:)

At night it is always illuminated. As I've observed so far, the colors change from time to time. Here you can see a greenish shade, but I've already seen red and white too.

Protoze tento post se nevaze k zadne udalosti, jen jsem vybral nejake doposud posbirane fotky, tak bude toto ceske okenko velmi kratke. Alespon se tak vykompenzuji ta dlouha:)
