Dried Fish, A Dress & Phone Charm

The watercolour of my friend's domestic dried fish hung on the window, a newspaper fashion clip and a cell phone pearl charm. Framed by this traditional French plastic picture frame on the kitchen wall.

The marble moulding, the black iron screens and the ornate door endorsed the entrance.

Ka Chi Korean Resaurant Counter.

The large LED screen, the large European style paintings spaced by the mirrors on both sides of the wall. Have created a different cultural ambient to the space.

This is a rare sight with the cockpit door opened and the crews preparing for the flight.

Mövenpick makes its Toronto comeback
The bar and beverage area on the right side and the pasta bar on the left.

Mövenpick Marché, the European-style self-serve restaurant, is returning to Toronto on January 25 after a six-year absence caused by a nasty legal dispute with franchisee Jorg Reichert. The company is taking back the space it once held in Brookfield Place (formerly BCE Place) from current tenant Richtree Market, and Mövenpick’s parent company intends to open at least 10 locations in the GTA under various names. Richtree’s closure will not affect the other locations.

But since both Richtree and Mövenpick serve food in a marketplace atmosphere—and since many Torontonians still refer to Richtree outlets as Mövenpicks—nearby office workers probably won’t notice the difference.

The Brick Arches Of The Brookfield Place.

The brick arches and white steel structures of the Brookfield Place.

Crystal Cathedral of Commerce on the background.
For those who enjoy contemporary architecture, the jewel of Brookfield Place is the amazing Allen Lambert Galleria. This six-story pedestrian thoroughfare, measuring 85 feet high, 45 feet wide and 360 feet long (24x14x110 meter), has been dubbed the "crystal cathedral of commerce" and its design was the result of an international competition.
The winner, Santiago Calatrava of Spain, makes amazing use of glass and light in this building which has become one of the most photographed in Toronto. The Galleria is six stories high and is comprised of eight freestanding

steel supports on either side of the Galleria. The supports branch out into parabolic shapes and seem to resemble the canopy of a forest.
