I'm seeing a lot of aerial photos. Not sure how they equate to an actual skyline shot, but whatever.

A couple I took today.

My photo https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4sZ46ScJ7X0/UB2o5ZurMnI/AAAAAAAAAeo/tUH6jdg8420/s992/068.JPG

This one was from a year or two ago.

What I find fascinating about that photo is how the stadium looks so close when in reality it's several km from downtown.

Forget all the tall towers!

The density building between 10 to 30 floors in Toronto is pretty outrageous.

I've wondered but I don't think I ever got the answer, what exactly is that building with the silver dome? Like what is its current/original purpose? It looks like a legislature (I know it isn't obviously but it looks akin to one).

I think it was a trade building. Even a market perhaps.

that is bonsecours market; it's always been a market, except when it was parliament for like one session in 1849.

it's sort of rough-hewn once you get up close... very heavy wood and stone. not particularly ornate.
