from that angle, toronto looks like hillbrow, johannesburg with a chunk of chicago at the tip.

I gotta quote this one more time, truly spectacular! The CN tower looks so good now with the LED lighting. I had no idea how cool it looks in reality until I saw an episode of Cash Cab filmed at night. You could see the CN tower in the background brightly pulsating different colours, it looked very futuristic.

Edmonton by me last night. I wanted to give people a bit better of an idea of our unique cityscape which creates a skyline running 40 odd blocks from east to west on the north side of the river and the rarely seen south top of bank skyline from the university east about 30 blocks.

^ Nice shots, Coldrsx. I don't understand why people say that Edmonton has no density. There are quite a few apartment buildings in those pictures.
