Cool shot, I think that is early sunrise (looking northeast).

No need to apologize, because it is the truth. Toronto stands head and shoulders above Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary when it comes to the sheer scale of the skyline.

Only bettered by New York City and Chicago, although Toronto may eventually surpass the latter in terms of skyline scale (but probably not in terms of skyline quality).

I had hoped to see some higher density stuff go in there, doesn't seem to be as big of a thing in Edmonton these days.

That's the most James Bond"ish"building in the country, and one of the best examples of retro-futurism in North America.

Not sure why but I like the vibe in this image.

Higher density coming, but those parcels were just released and there are 3-4 x 6 storey coming.

6-12 storey will come towards the centre closer to the LRT stations to form a mixed-use town centre.

That is really epic.

Now that Toronto has taken a step backward aesthetically with Sky Tower, I might actually find Montreal the most appealing.

Sounds great! would love to see something like the University District in Calgary happen there.
