It's Complicated

After a visit to a relative's home a couple of weeks back, one of my cousins asked if we minded dropping her off in the downtown area of my city so that she could more easily access transportation to her own home in Toronto. The drive along the highway was pleasant as we caught up on chitchat about ourselves and our kids.

The sun was just beginning to set and gave us the most lovely golden view through the car window to the north...

A hazy, smokey, peachy mauve dusted the sky to the south of the city.

Straight ahead, we could see the dazzling, gilded buildings of the downtown core. Keep an eye on that incomplete tower in the middle - the one with the taller of two cranes on top of it. We're going to take a closer look.

The two upcoming photos were taken when it was mostly dark and from a moving car so please excuse the quality.

This curvy condominium-to-be is one of two Absolute Towers in the making, which for obvious reasons have been dubbed the "Marilyn Monroe Towers." Evidently, the construction is taking much longer than expected. Much like its namesake, they find her to be complicated.

Mississauga has always had a rather boring skyline but it appears that the blonde bombshell might just add a bit of glitz and glamour to our city. What do you think?
