I agree I also think Suncor Energy Centre doesn't get the credit it deserves... I always thought it was gorgeous seeing pics of Calgary from way back when I was a kid. It is basically Western Canada's ScotiaPlaza... though that comparison is kinda sad

-Gotta love that vancouver skyline.
-I never liked Calgary's skyline, but lately with the new towers like the Bow, I've got to say its really coming along nicely!


Here's Quebec:

I personally liked the old name better. The new one is almost as generic as mine.

Nice photos GS! I have never seen Montreal from either of those vantage points. Very unique perspectives that most people don't have access to.
