    This Blade Runner-esque photo of Toronto is by Lucan Coutts. It's getting a lot of shares without acknowledging him as the photographer. Here's his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdOj_Svh4mJ/?taken-by=lucancoutts …pic.twitter.com/ySnYoHiSFp

        Thank you for posting the credit! I've un-RTed the original tweet & followed @lucancoutts. Mr. Coutts' photography of Toronto is phenomenal. It makes me love my already beloved home even more.

        I find this photo kinda funny because it’s the only angle in the entire city that looks anything like this.

        That’s Toronto? Looks more like Times Square.

        Probably Yonge st by the Eaton Centre. It’s like a mini Times Square.

        After 15 yrs away I came back to TO to that exact scene. Gobsmacked doesn't begin to describe my reaction.

        Wow. This photo is *great.* When I lived in TO, I always said Yonge Street reminded me of Blade Runner.
