Crane operator ROBERT MacFARLANE’s birdseye view of TORONTO
From his perch, atop the 58-storey L Tower, crane operator ROBERT MacFARLANE takes in this view every day. Foreground – Bay Street highrises; background – CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and the western suburbs. The crane gives him a 360 degree unobstructed view. “Every day there is beauty on the lake, and little swaths of the city that will light up while everything else is in shade. I just gotta get that picture.”
