I don't have a great fear of heights, but that photo gives me a sense of instant vertigo. That photographer must have nerves of steel!

I think everyone loves going through those trees and seeing the view of the downtown open up......it makes for some slow cars somtimes, which is OK by me!

Man I was grinning from ear to ear watching that. Incredible when he dips the camera over the side.

^ Interesting building in the bottom left - looks like a building-in-a-building with a forest between them. Is that a roof top patio or something ?
Looks very cool.

That's the Hilton hotel in place Bonaventure. A very pleasing place actually, with a pool and a mini forest on the roof.

There's an angle you don't see too often.

That's a great shot of Van but I still don't think it beats this shot of Habtown:

Everyone's opinion on skyline will be different when viewed through what they like the most

Sometimes I wake up and share your opinion, others I think Van has the best, sometimes T dot, sometimes Calgary, sometimes Edmonton, Winnipeg, even Halifax

Great skylines across Canada. Vancouver's strength is how photogenic it is. In that regard it cannot be beat.
