Good lord man, you either need a better cell phone or a proper camera

Looks like both events were well attended. We were at the lake building a deck this weekend

That's quite a nice view of a bunch of RTU's and condensers that the Icon folks have on the top of their podium. I'm sure the folks on the lower levels love hearing them too.

Those vintage parade shots are awesome.

^ Ha! I took all 6 of those shots myself. The Rossdale PP and Donald Ross school shots are pretty much identical to mine.

Looks like it rained a bit on you guys later in the evening, though by the crowds that didn't seem to deter anyone from coming luckily.

Bulliver, I remember a while back you were trying to get onto the roof of Manulife? Any luck with that so far?

The rainy shots were from Friday night. I was on my way home from Pride as the rain started on Saturday.

And yeah, me an sahlgoode went into Manulife one day and talked to security. They gave us a contact name/number, whom sahlgoode called and was either summarily shot down, or ignored, don't recall which. Either way, Manulife is not happening

^Those last shots remind me of Vista 33 in the old AGT tower. One of my favourite places.

I can get you on the 4th floor terrace of Manulife. They're extremely restrictive about roof access, though.

^ most building owners/ managers are extemely picky about who goes on the roof. Huge liability issue.

I have been on Manulife roof on more than one occasion. It's a pretty nice view. Not as nice as TPS though.

Is the old Vista 33 just offices now? Because the actual observation deck hasn't been open for years.

Hey, thanks. I'm inspired by my new camera, the thing is amazing in low-light.

Nearly a thousand watertons a second in that picture.

River is now down below 5 m and under 700 watertons a second.
