:haha:

I want one of those letter jackets! but mine should read "Construction Project Curator"... 'cause I just gather the good stuff to share (my camera's been dusty for years).

Those talented drone flyers have really changed the game. :cheers:

I wonder what possessed him to have the jacket made? Are Victorians suspicious of an octogenarian camera wielding terrorist? Some retired office drone living out his dream hobby?

Curators are like historians as long as they are also archivists - very important people :D

And the drone shots are an amazing addition to city photography - although I haven’t yet given it a shot due to the many apparent restrictions.

Whippersnapper - I see this guy around town quite often, he’s a bit of a character. So I think it’s 50/50 that had the jacket custom made, or because he’s always hanging around this construction site taking pictures that the site construction manager got it for him as a gift. Next time I see him I’ll ask him instead of taking his pic, lol.

Despite this being incredibly dangerous, this is still one of the coolest videos I've seen.

Something a foul about that video. It's next to impossible to sneak onto the roofs of the bank towers. There's always security and maglocks.

Staged or faked.

Charles in Charge is looking decent. Same for Q &A

Cool to see the Academic Wood Tower go up. An architect friend of ours was involved in the initial designs and while I don't claim to understand the specifics there's some neat engineering work involved to tie into the existing structure.

Was at Rorschach brewing the other week and had no idea Queen and Ashbridge was a thing - looked pretty good in person.

Race to the top…. check out how close together these 2 Distillery District construction projects are (The Goode on the right and No. 31 Condos on the left).

No. 31 Condos is 41 storeys (this will block 90% of the views to the lake from The Goode ;-):

Great update!

Was in Yorkville 2 days ago and was amazed how far along 50 Scollard was.

^^ yeah remember seeing this construction photo and thinking 'this location is a perfect match to the rendering' lol.... as you've just demonstrated.:tup:

The area around King and Caroline in Downtown Hamilton has really changed a lot, especially since I've been in the area, with two towers (14s and 30s) now rising on the east side of the intersection.

Meanwhile, other large sites are going up elsewhere in the lower city, like this 28 floor condo tower by the Scottish Rites building (west)

The square Philips second phase (21 floors) is now starting to rise.

Jeez, sprained my finger scrolling.

Wow, phase 1 looks almost down from the outside
