Wow, that IG building in Winnipeg looks really similar to the building in Toronto on Yonge around Queen they used to be in until they moved into the office space in Maple Leaf Square.

Vancouver's should be the de facto skyline for all epic hollywood productions... I thought San Fran looked good in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but come to think of it Vancouver would've provided an even sweeter backdrop.

That movie was actually filmed in Vancouver for the most part. The Lions Gate Bridge, Stanley Park, Burrard inlet, the CBD etc all make appearances.

Yeah probably about 5 minutes sooner. That photo is zoomed in.

Awesome shots.residents of both Vancouver and Calgary should be proud of their respective sky-lines. Great new angles of Winnipeg as well.

I posted these in the city sections a little while back..Ottawa is very tricky to get the right angle from the Ontario side, and I'm no photographer.

It's kind of surprising how much ice is built up on the Bow, especially considering how mild it's been this winter.
