While we're doing aerial shots, I really like this one I found of the Ottawa skyline. From Eye in the Sky on http://www.panoramio.com.

What's sad is that that closely resembles any picture taken after 1968!

I sometimes think Calgary has a nicer skyline than Toronto. It seems more organized and photogenic.

Nope, that one is Phase 2 of the Homburg-Harris Centre. Jamieson is on the other side of downtown.

You know, there are definitively some waterfront buildings I would like to see destroyed in a freak earthquake...

nice shot of Cityplace posted by greenleaf over at urbantoronto...looks like this may have been taken onboard a Porter Airlines flight enroute to the island airport....

the gap between the two tallest buildings is looking up Spadina Ave...(Chinatown)...

Cityplace takes its fair share of cues from Concord Pacific Place however, we have mostly locals to admire or blame. Concord Adex is quite separate from Concord Pacific and both are Canadian subsidiaries of a larger Chinese developer.
