Eric recently sent in these shots of the Pearl Street tower, thanks Eric! Those are two new views that we haven’t seen on here before and we love the motion in that first image and the interesting lighting in the second. Very cool.

Looking at the first image we can only imagine how good the tower would look with some lights on it. It becomes almost invisible at night and we think it’s too impressive a structure to just disappear like that. It should be a prominent structure in our night sky.

Thanks for the submissions, more to come from Eric soon. Check out his website for more of his great photos.

Thanks to Jean-Marc for two excellent illustrations of the water towers. These both do a great job representing the water towers. The first image imagines Sudbury as a cartoon-like world and the tower fits in really nicely, framed by the branches of the trees. We think it’s a really nice scene!

The second image shows a proud looking tower at sunset over some rolling hills. Two really great and colorful illustration, thanks Jean-Marc!

We’ve been getting more and more amazing contributions lately, thanks for your support of the water tower campaign. We are looking forward to finding the perfect location for an art show to display all of the great work we’ve received so far. Thanks to everyone!

Reprieve for water tower

Sounds like there was some good news coming out of the city council meeting last night. An article in today’s Sudbury Star says that Ward 12 Councillor Joscelyne Landry-Altmann asked city council to consider a reprieve for the tower. It’s nice to know there is someone on the council who is in support of saving the towers.

If you love the towers, email the Mayor (link in the right-hand column) and tell him why you want them saved. I just sent my email the other day. You can also email Councillor Landry-Altmann with your support.

Also, join the Save the Sudbury Water Towers group on Facebook and get updates and join in on the conversation. What are your hopes for the towers?
