Christmas Crystals

Photo by KPA

Swarkovski crystals decorate the Christmas tree at the downtown Toronto Eaton Centre. The tree rotates very slowly, to view of the whole tree, and also to let the light catch the crystals which emanate multi-colored sparkles.

The wonderful think about this tree is its location. Despite being in the downtown core, the mall has none of the burrowing, underground feeling one often has in malls. The glass roof above gives directly into the outside, and indoor lighting is minimal since the most of the light comes from the ceiling.
