Bankers court could have used a retail unit or two at grade. Other than that, it's a very nice building.

They do have a Good Earth on the west side of the building. Chairs and tables outside of it would be great, also something on the south side would be nice.

No worries, all we ask is that there is some sort of credit to the photo.

That's something. Lots of room for cafe tables and chairs out there.

They might even have tables and chairs when it's opened. I was there when it was closed.

I'm a big fan of Good Earth, however they went up and changed their coffee beans... I miss their original blends.

I think the first part refers to the physical property and not the intellectual rights. It would be impossible to return everyone's photo to them after the contest ended.

The second part just means you don't something for nothing. Not that I have a hope in hell of winning, but I wasn't too thrilled with the prize.

Some of my pictures.




I tried that selective coloring to show the new Pennwest in a rather unchanged skyline of this angle.



More on my flickr page of this set which is 23photos.

Ok, i guess its still not working. I have developed a new routine for sharing mass quantities of photos. I will no longer post huge batches of 30-40 pics as it takes too much time and there are several photographers on the thread who contribute lots of amazing and interesting pictures.
I will post a preview of up to 10 photos and link the rest to my album on Flickr whether they are site visits, construction updates or city life pictures.
I think this will help not to overwhelm people including myself.

^Those pictures aren't showing up??

Edit: NM, i tried the Flickr link and I can see the pictures

Saw an ad on Kijiji this morning for a whack of brand new Pentax gear. Figured it was the guy who won the Herald photo contest. Turns out it is. I almost sent him an email saying he shouldn't have won, but figured it would sound like sour grapes.

Here's his ad:

You forgot to mention his HDR treatment. I've offered him $200 for the entire thing.
