I used to not like the thought of sub-par condo buildings blocking the view of downtown from Peel Bassin, but I'm starting to come around to the idea. It was never Montreal's best angle anyway.

I always thought it was the least flattering. Cheapo or not, the new griffintown skyline is going to be very impressive from the Peel basin, from the highway and for people coming into town by train every day.

Those who will be linving in these towers will have amazing views of downtown, unless another tower blocked their view, which will happened very often, especially considering that the street grid in Griffintown is very "old town" with narrow streets.

That building on the bottom right of the picture is a work of art. I remember being on Bice's terrasse, looking at it the whole evening.

^^^ I think the word "great" is a tad overkill.

I don't believe I've posted any of these before, but if you do recognize a couple from previous posts of mine I apologize for being redundant.

Anyways, here's a few shots from around Winnipeg, taken within the last few months or so. Yep.

It was ugly out. I'm talkin' Rush Limbaugh Ugly:

True Story:

Pretty ugly, but trains are still kinda cool:

This is bat country:

This partial skyline has been brought to you in part by your friends at Vasoline:

Yep:

Too many poles; the story of my life:
