The 13th best showing for T.O is nothing to sneeze at no matter whatever source it's taken from.

You noticed that too??

Did you also notice that as soon as someone posts a picture of Edmonton, someone or a few people will post several pictures of Calgary?

OOOPS! Someone mentioned Edmonton! I had better post some Calgary photos!



The skyline with Calgary's beautiful, brand new Poppy Plaza at Memorial Park.

I think I'll start posting a picture of Halifax every time someone posts a picture of Winnipeg. I thought about doing St. John's. but there's no way I could keep up with SHH.

I guess we wont be seeing very many Halifax photo's then. Winnipeg pictures are fairly few and far between. We are secretly keeping our skyline pic's on a low profile until all of our recently proposed buildings are built, then.........BAM!

I would like to see more Hamilton, but 97% of Hamilton Skyline pics are taken from the same angle, so it gets rather boring.

There are no pictures to post of Calgary anymore. Every single skyline angle has been documented.

I'll never get enough of the Peace Bridge. The area around Memorial Drive is becoming increasingly incredible. The new Poppy Plaza is stunning, I love it there. Can't wait until the restaurant opens in June!

The Winnipeg skyline in 5 to 10 years is going to be unreal; it could very well be on par with Edmonton. I am soooo excited

Singapore gets surprisingly high rankings on a number of lists. Sao Paulo ahead of Toronto and Shanghai is a bit odd as well. It's clearly counting 12 floor+ buildings in determining the placements. There's no way Sao Paulo would be there, or Seoul for that matter.

Good on the Peg, although with what's proposed here we should be movin on up ourselves.

Stunning Peace bridge shot.

Within a few decades both skylines will be on the same level. Awesome

Where do you suggest to get pictures of Hamilton's skyline then? I'm curious because I will try and get pictures from those angles when I go there this summer.

Won't get into a debate in this thread and not to disparage the Peg, but the fundamentals here are incredibly strong for the next 10 years or more.

You may have the advantage for the next ten years or so, but that appears to be diminishing. I know you may not like my comparison (oh well), but I am thoroughly looking forward to both cities having similar skylines
