For your interest....
A bit of culture for your edification!
Did you know the world's tallest building is in Canada? You may have seen this structure before, but it can still get your attention. It's called the Canadian National Tower in Toronto and is used for telecommunications. It's height is 553.3 meters or 1,815 feet so you know it's been photographed a lot. I'm a big fan of architecture and have gone back and looked at this photo several times. It's truly amazing. See for yourself....   Ok - guess that's my marching orders then...*hangs head in shame - oh...the shame!!*

I went up that 5 years ago - it is very impressive, especially when me and my wife were both on top.
The views were breathtaking. it was supposed to be closed on the day that we went, but it was opened up specially for our party as we had booked in advance - we even had dinner on top of it. Did you know that the top spins round very slowly so you can get all round views?

Yes apparently it spins once every hour, roughly the time it'll take to eat your grub and see the entire surroundings! |
