New timelapse the ultimate in Toronto skyline porn

It's been a while since we've posted a timelapse video of Toronto, but the wait will have proved worth it once you take a look at this new sequence that shows off the majesty of our city's skyline. The title is, of course, apt. This is an unabashed example of skyline porn, where the video is most concerned with offering a feast for the senses rather than an underlying narrative or theme.

This is the latest effort from Ryan Emond, who many will recall shot the wildly popular Toronto Tempo and Planet Toronto videos. The production quality on those offerings was very high, but this one somehow manages to top even those.

If you fell in love with the SkyDome (yes, SkyDome) sequence in Emond's first video, you'll crack a huge smile when you see what's in store here. Shuttling through TTC subway tunnels at hyper-speed is also fun -- and very different from the humdrum commute we collectively suffer through.

Toronto might not be the most beautiful city in the world, but arguments against the aesthetic merits of the place will find plenty of contrary evidence in the video below. Here's a little SFW porn for you.
