Employees at the Toronto City Public Libraries are on strike. They've been picketing at city hall all week.

The ship has landed! Looks like a big UFO up there, interesting composition.

tx guys... i'm actually quite happy about this shot... i walk by city hall most days on my way to work, and i've been trying to figure out how best to capture it... the architecture is a bit bizarre (indeed, it does look like a giant spaceship Stacey!!), and of course it's been shot a bazillion times... i felt this shot captured it well, and also had a story to tell...

Wow, that must be one huge library! The architecture is awesome, and the crowds really make the shot

@5unflow3r @365slfportraits actually, i doubt that all those employees work at one library... there is a large network of public libraries across the city... but city hall is a good gathering place for this kind of activity because it will attract media coverage and public interest... so at a guess, there would have been some effort made to bring folks there for picketing... also, the inside workers at the city are in bargaining negotiations and as at the end of last week, things were getting a bit dicey... so i can imagine that some of them might have been on the lines on their lunch hour (this shot was taken over lunch) with the library workers as a show of solidarity...
