To start off the second incarnation of this thread, here are some photos of Calgary's West Springs neighbourhood. A medium-density(2007 people/km2) suburb on the outer edge of Western Calgary.

And this building is under construction as part of the Live/Work development across the street. The development includes a retail mall, office building, a mixed use office/residential/retail building, and this residential/retail building. This particular building is called Eighty5nine.

I was going to say that I like Swift Current, it's got a very Midwestern feel that I've always found appealing.

:previous: I agree Lio!


That is a gorgeous view 1ags!

Awesome! Good luck!

College Quarter is a long term development project by the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. It combines new student residences with sports and academic facilities, an arts and cultural centre, and commercial and mixed-use development to help integrate it into the adjacent neighbourhood. The College Quarter Greenway links it all to the main campus.

The first buildings, the Undergraduate Student Residences, and Graduate House, along with the first phase of the Greenway represent the first steps in this project. See College Quarter Master Plan.

Old St. John's from Destination St. John's on Facebook:

Amazing how small it is. You can see the entirety of downtown as well as about half of the old area of the city, with rowhouses and so on. It extends to the left and below this view. So tiny. :D Hard to believe how much... history and life... can be in such a small space.

So weird how Signal Hill is almost completely bare while the Southside hills are fully forested.

Beltline east end by Surrealplaces, on Flickr

Indeed, I had no clue of just how compact the whole arrangement was.

It looks much larger from the ground, the west end is so far away from Signal Hill that you can barely see it from there; and that angle always shortens the whole harbour and city!

A cruise ship just left St. John's. I took a few screen grabs of a couple of different live cams to share with you how it looks when a large vessel leaves through the Narrows.

Holy crap!

Yes, holy crap!

^^ It's really cool to watch from the hills! I went to right where the bottom camera shows (the bottom right corner with the people there .. yeah I was one of them lol) and the hills have people all over them watching and on the other side .. when the ship starts to pass through all the people on the ship cheer and everyone waves and the people on the hills cheer and wave back lol even some cars from the other side on that road were honking as they left. quite the neat experience :)

That's a toight squeeze. Cheers for that.

That is awesome! That ship must have azimuth thrusters, that is some amazing maneuvering capability.

I need to book a flight to St. John's! SignalHillHiker contributions, both historical and visual, really have spiked my curiosity about the place!

SignalHillHiker, Holy sh**t!!! That is a very huge ship. How many of these do you see in St-John's each year ?

here's our cruise schedule for this year:

Today was a very hazy day here in Vancouver, and probably one of the last warm and sunny days we'll have before the rainy season begins again, so I went out and took a bunch of pictures:

Shot from the Bow skygarden

These bike lanes have got to be among the best in North America. New York apparently has some nice ones now, too. It's heartening to see how cities on this side of the pond are starting to "get it" about proper infrastructure for cyclists. Toronto still has a long way to go on this front.

There was a kerfuffle on these boards a while back about whether Vancouver's skyline was Manhattanesque. I don't think anyone can deny that this shot here really is reminiscent of Manhattan.

Definitely agree, that is a Manhattanesque view.

Vancouver looks great in most of those shots!
