These skyscrapers look just fine. I myself could never understand why so many people have a dislike for this tower. For me it has always looked proud and tall. It is truly monolithic standing against its surroundings. brawny and stout, is how I have always felt about it. Big, strong, tall, that is its attractiveness and it still gives off that feeling, even when there is a bigger, taller, tower right next door. ( as can be seen in your photo's reflection). None less, the Petro Canada tower remains proud, it still puffs up its chest and shines in its unique, bright and reddish-copper. While it may be big and in your face, it will never be anything but beautiful to me.
