I love that angle 1ajs. With the beltline in the foreground, you really get a feel for the density.

Yeah, Bigtime mentioned that too, though I probably should have been able to figure it out by myself.

Wow, Montana's lighting scheme actually looks good.

^the first pic gives the impression of a city on the hinterlands (foreground: is that a one-room schoolhouse I see?), which is not the case with the second and third shots (big citymanship)

#2: Trump Tower Toronto (282m): The green one currently under construction.
#3: Scotia Plaza (275m): the red one in the background.

Im ressurecting this one again. It does cut off some of the buildings but love the density.

wow. calgary as montreal.

almost.

^ Unfortunately that density only extends from the CBD in one direction (south) and only for about 15 blocks. That falls far short of the Montreal standard. But at least its a start.

le calmar · #**6899** Posted **Feb 16, 2011, 11:06 PM**

Is the BOW topped-out? I guess so because it seems like an "old" pic (at least not taken this winter)

Whatever, it is still good to see. You can even see the new LRT at the top left side of the photo. That should spur some density.
