Last Monday, I had the chance to walk across the Prince Edward Viaduct at night to see the Luminous Veil in action, the first time I saw it in action since it was finished last year for the Pan Am Games.

Last July, Spacing Toronto's Kat Eschner wrote at length about the controversies surrounding the Veil, an anti-suicide barrier for one of the most popular suicide bridges in North America. One commonly voiced concern was that the Luminous Veil would detract from the Viaduct's beauty. Looking back at these photos, and remembering my walk, I don't see how this is the case.
