Is this vantage point a public space?

It's from a parking garage northwest of downtown.

Nice tour. I like your selection of density shots to begin with but then when you got to Toronto, I can't help but notice is it my imagination or does Toronto have a pretty plain/streetscape in terms of greenery and shit. All i see it concrete and powerlines in like every shot? But then the aerials are great. Love th niagra angles you snagged too.

Lot's of mileage for this one!

Looks to me like it's from somewhere near Diversey and Halsted but not exactly.

That's true to a large extent. Even most of the open spaces downtown have concrete lawns.

Oh yeah, great shots ColDay BTW!
