I think we should draw a distinction between the two parts of Westmount.

Lower Westmount (Sherbrooke St. and below) is effectively the westernmost part of downtown Montreal, whereas Upper Westmount (above Sherbrooke) feels completely distinct. Lower Westmount has few detached single family homes, whereas Upper Westmount is almost entirely detached housing.

The way I see it, is when people put up pictures of Vancouver or Toronto, I see downtown Vancouver or Toronto. It wouldn't be easy to post an Oshawa skyline picture in the main skyline thread, and that's what this is for. This thread was made to see skylines other than Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto. Burnaby and Missisauga certainly fall under that.

Very nice Halifax shots. Winnipeg one looks cool too.

I love the second and third Halifax shots. There are some very attractive buildings in those.

I was out for a walk with my better half so I didn't have my tripod. So they're not as crisp and the ISO had to be far too high but, whatever, it was a beautiful night!

I love how literal the middle and lower classes are in the Battery neighbourhood:

That Halifax shot is amazing! The way the lights reflect is spectacular. In my opinion there is nothing better than a skyline up against the water, be it lake, ocean or river.

I agree completely!

SignalHillHiker · #**1556** Posted **Nov 4, 2012, 12:50 PM**

Agreed - and just noticed I didn't say so myself. That first shot, David, is especially amazing. I love it. As is probably obvious, I love morning/evening light far more than midday.

The fog has finally moved offshore, at least enough to allow some distance shots of the city.

I tried to expand on some of the views I usually take, to extend the panoramas a little farther to the left and right.

I wish our modern buildings were beautiful. There are really only a couple of them that I like at all. But, with all the new construction and reclads underway/planned, it should become much better soon.
