Toronto CN Tower

CN Tower Toronto Ontario Canada

A few months ago as we were driving in downtown Toronto going shopping I noticed the beautiful "BLUE" sky. It looked like the pointy needle on the CN Tower was touching the sky and just lit it up a gorgeous few shades of "BLUE"..........

........this CN Tower for 34 years held the record as being the world's tallest-free-standing structure. It is 1,815.4 feet high. There is a restaurant on the very top...but what is cool about this restaurant is that in 1 hour it spins around the whole city......good it's not faster or it would be hard to keep the food down.

On a clear day you can see Buffalo, New York across Lake Ontario......the views are amazing.

When there is a storm with lightening that needle on the CN Tower gets hit so often with a big bolt of lightening. Quite amazing to watch. During different seasons it is lit up with different colours.

I've been up so many times as it is a big tourist attraction...anyone who comes to visit has to go up.........what is scary for me is the glass floor you can walk on and see the city below. I always think that the glass floor will crack and down I'll go...eekkks!

    I think there's a new, taller one in Dubai. It opened in 2009. Check if out.

    Happy Blue Monday, Irene.

    I had the pleasure of visiting your city once, but never saw this sight. Wish I could go again.
