Never tried to come up with such statistics while studying mechanical engineering back in the day but I'm fairly certain the outcome would have been quite different!! Anyway, that's neither here nor there so let's get back to business!

Yeah, they definitely weren't considering how it would look on an internet photo taken from a specific angle 70 years in the future. They were probably riding on the masterpiece building that they already occupied.

dumbasses..

Maybe it's only a special event for the 1812 bicentennial? I mean it's not like that's the modern Union Flag, so they will probably switch back to the historical flag later. (At least that's my guess.)

Yeah, I see it and look at Commerce Court turn TD Bank Green in it's reflection. That's a neat effect. And wow, the lighting on Cityplace is starting to come together finally. And I dare not say it, but in 4 years, time the area behind the Skydome will be all but unrecognisable as a second massive node of skyscrapers on the western edge of downtown. Shangrila-Toronto's LED will be crazy from this view as well, as will Trump when it's turned on for the standard Toronto Skyline shot.

Edmonton

I should have taken a couple more angles.....the condo district to the
west (that you cant see in these pics) goes on forever. This is only the east side of the city
