Shangri-La from the Granville Street Bridge with the blinding sun glinting off Pomaria.

^That's a nicely framed picture.

Actually the height of the re-bar on the Shangri-La does look a bit higher than what is shown in the drawings on the last page.

From TD Tower today (Sunday Feb 23rd). It'll be interesting to see how much the interior walls (and blinds) affect the exterior appearance.

Guess I should have cropped it a bit more, which I've just done.
I wanted it big enough to see inside the windows to the walls (like that big blank one about half way up).

I know the first thing I'd do with a condo 40 stories up...put big walls in front of all the windows...

A few shots from what is now yesterday. Unfortunately not nearly as impressive as the ones above.

It's still cool to see it from all the different new angles. Thanks!

I've been wondering that too. I've noticed that it hasn't been going up as much lately...but the glass sections seem to be creeping up on the roof line.

I think it's cool though that you can see through the upper part of the building when going over the second narrows bridge.
