Lives of Photographs, 86

This photo I call 'Glass Castle', of the Royal Bank Plaza in Toronto's Bay Street and taken one sunny day in July 2009, has sold via Getty in December for just over $500 of which I get just over $100 (they've classed it as a 'royalty free' image; 'rights managed' would have meant more). No details at all on the buyer, and the territory this time is listed as CHE - where's that? Chechnya? Chile? The information provided on their royalty statements is sometimes so scant and inconsistent they may as well not tell me anything.

The Royal Bank Plaza is a bit of a favourite with Toronto's film location scouts: last year it featured in the comedy superhero movie Kick-Ass, as seen in the opening sequence of this trailer.
