Nice shots. The condo culture there is pretty impressive for a city of 1 million.

Quebec is such an incredibly beautiful city.
That shot of Toronto is one of the best I've ever seen and does Toronto credit for all it's towers.

Wow, that's some serious visual density. A wall of skyscrapers with virtually no gaps. Very "big city."

Also note L Tower peeking out from behind the Ritz.

Now if we could just get that big city feeling to be a little BIGGER!

More skyscrapers moving east and west of the core will help with this.

We still don't have that big city feel north of Dundas (with the possible exception of the Mink Mile), but it's rapidly moving in that direction.

College Park is the first step in getting more pedestrian activity North of Dundas.
