Project manager for the Art Gallery of Ontario's Frank Gehry-designed transformation Mike Mahoney stands on the site of the Galleria Italia, a 450-foot-long sculpture promenade rising above Dundas. Enclosed by moulded glass hanging from swooping beams of Douglas fir, this will become one of Toronto's most iconic architectural features and a postcard favourite.

I like the B&W; it highlights the geometry of the construction without the color distraction.

When I saw this photo, it reminded me the vintage photos of the constructions sites in the early 20's, when the skyscrapers were rising like mushrooms. The b&w helps in that ambiance. :-)

That's gonna be great. I assume we will be seeing some shots later once it's completed.

Thanks everyone.
Jason, I hope to get back in there for the opening, it should be spectacular, especially along this area.

I've never been able to get into Gehry, his buildings just don't do much for me as a whole. I do like the vintage feeling of your shot though.
