The articulated arm of a concrete pump, known as a boom, stands ready atop the 18th floor of the SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge in Downtown Toronto. Captured with a telephoto lens by UrbanToronto Forum contributor mburrrrr last week, the boom is just one of hundreds that are in use across the city, literally making us a boomtown, even more than the figure of speech is meant to express. Compressed in the backdrop are icy Toronto Harbour, the Islands, icier Lake Ontario, and even the Niagara Peninsula — marked by the height of land known as the Niagara Escarprment — all conspiring to take your focus off the far more UrbanToronto-y construction in the foreground. Pay no attention to the spectacular background, we've got a future supertall to pledge our eyeballs to. Only 87 more storeys to go!
