A massive skyline in the distance:

Wow Flar, that's epic! It's amazing how dense the area between CBD and Mississauga DT look in that shot.

No, it's called being annoying.

You don't like Edmonton. WE GET IT.

LOL, that guy is such an idiot. Hopefully he'll be Vancouvers' problem sooner rather than later, but somehow I doubt it.

We certainly do attract a certain self-loathing type to this city don't we ?

That is a most impressive shot. The built up area along the lake make it look like one massive downtown. I love the flatness of the lake terminating right at the density of the CBD. Awsome.

The density to the left of the CBD is actually mostly the Yonge Corridor heading north.

The Mississauga city centre is not even shown in that shot, it's out of the picture way to the West.

Softee is correct, here is a shot with MCC in the background (Hamilton/Burlington in foreground):

A closeup of Mississauga, with heat distortion

Toronto is one amazing city in terms of visuals. I think it's a great city otherwise too.

Fantastic shot, flar!

LeftCoaster · #**2854** Posted **Oct 22, 2009, 3:20 AM**

Great shot! When was that taken? The trees appear far too green for that to have been too recent.

MTLskyline · #**2855** Posted **Oct 22, 2009, 4:37 AM**

Wow I am floored! I love the industrial foreground, skyline in the distance thing going on. Toronto is really impressive from that angle!

^Vancouver's future actually. Another young professional gone, so sad.
You're way too obsessed with me weirdo.

Apparently I'm not alone as far as my opinions go. I've talked to a lot of people, none of them are really impressed at all by Edmonton. The 5 Edmonton forumers rambling all day about the greatness of Edmonton is just plain tacky.

Get back on the rigs 240, don't enjoy yourself too much

mmmatt · #**2857** Posted **Oct 22, 2009, 7:32 AM**

^ dude don't clutter up the thread with hate, lets just continue to post and discuss the awesome skylines we have in Canada, and yes that includes Edmonton

entheosfog · #**2858** Posted **Oct 22, 2009, 7:42 AM**

okay! Here's a couple more from Vancouver, taken by me tonight from Kitsilano:

The West End:

Downtown:

I'm up in Ottawa now, it was taken sometime during the last year or two.
