Yes, it's from the 50th floor. Actually, It's from the lobby. A few of us forumers asked if we could go into the boardroom itself, and they let us take pics for a few minutes... all of mine turned out blurry though... the one shown here was a fortunate afterthought as I was heading towards the elevator.

Great shots...of course 33 is one of the best, ever, from downtown Calgary.

I also really like the angle fron #15...I don't see it from that side too often.

Thanks for the comments so far!

Would like to continue hearing what everyone's fav. shot is. So far it is almost unanimously the PCC "Power Shot" from the Calgary forumers.

Number 2 for me, it almost looks like a rendering. Who forgot to clean the LRT? Everything else looks so squeaky clean.
