Angela’s post got me thinking about my last visit to the CN Tower and how did my best to take some non-traditional photos that day with my dinky 3.1MP Kodak DX4330 point and shoot.

The date was August 14, 2003. On first glance that doesn’t appear to be a special day, but look a little closer and you’ll recognize it as the date of the Northeast Blackout of 2003.  Myself and my girlfriend at the time were visiting Toronto that day.  We walked off the elevator at the base of the tower and drove away less than 15 minutes before the power went out.  I still sorta wish we had gotten stuck up top (at least until the backup generators kicked in), because I can think of few places I enjoy more than being up in the Skypod.
