Great shots of Vancouver and Calgary by Vanman & Jimby!

Thanks for the update Vanman, we don't get too many Vancouver construction updates in the Canada forum.

Jimby I really like that first shot with bankers hall, the colours and the mist create a really mythical look.

Awesome updates, entheosfog. The Exchange is looking tight! I love how the old warehouse has been incorporated. Quality.

Erosion from the ocean (False Creek) you mean? I had to look at an aerial to figure it out, but those aren't waterfront units, and that's not False Creek in the foreground. It's a giant puddle in a lot on the south-east corner of 1st Avenue and Columbia.

Edit: Here's the aerial. The pond is below the 'C' in the 'Copyright Image' watermark.

False Creek is a completely sheltered body of water. The wake of passing dragon boats would be about the most significant source of erosion along the waterfront.

Btw thanks entheosfog for the updates.

Also Caltrane Maple Leaf Square looks like it's really starting to come together now.

hey thanks for the comments guys. It seems every abandoned condo site in the city has turned into a mini lake and yes, that's what that 'body of water' is.

Vancouver Convention Centre is lookin pretty sweet.

LOL I guess that body of water is more sheltered than I thought.
