I think the skyline in the background of vanman's 1st and 3rd pics is Oakridge, isn't it? With all of the cranes? Trippy angles, no real geographic clues. The last picture I love! The 3 buildings in the foreground are forgettable, and don't have any importance in the photo other than framing the glory that is the background skyline. Just wow, the colour highlights the skyline so well, and just the sheer size and density now is unbelievable. I wish the middle building in the foreground would disappear lol, it's hiding some good density. But still an amazing shot

^Yep that's Oakridge in the background.

The Metrotown skyline really does catch the light at times in interesting ways being high up on a ridge. It makes for quite the backdrop to Brentwood especially at sunrise/sunset.

Richmond's Oval Village.

This is the waters edge in front of the Sunnyside Pavilion to the west of downtown Toronto. Big improvements including an erosion control wall of stepped rocks that will double as seating/ reposing space. I loved it! In the distance is Humber Bay Shores which is a rapidly developing centre that will double in size over the next 10 years. Taken 14 March.

The Metrotown Skyline has certainly grown at an impressive speed in the past few years.

Wow, those are amazing.

Burnaby's Metrotown skyline across Deer Lake. With several 50-65 floor towers going up right now, this view will be further transformed in coming years.

some of Canada's suburbs have better skylines than some of the more major first tier cities.

As a kid the Metrotowers on the left dominated that view and now I can barely make them out.
