Awesome picture leftimage, Nice work!

With the Lowney (20 floors X2) and The Griffin 3 (20X2) the BMO and National bank buildings will soon be obscured. Kind of wish you kept the BNC tower in sight, but oh well.

Jeez guys, tag your skyscraper porn.

But seriously though, some beautiful photos.

Very detailed editing on that video. It must have taken you a while to put that together.

You not only captured the North York Skyline, you also got the Graydon Hall Skyline, Herron's Hills / Consumers Road Skyline, Leslie and Sheppard (Concord Park) and Bayview and Sheppard Skyline (New York Towers/Chicago Towers)

Not my video for the record. I can't be bothered with all that editing... need to be a real 'road geek' for something like that. The most I'll do is provide some annotations and a map at the beginning of the video.

You can find my timelapse driving videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Yl0lRNSH1hES4_9Dp7gP9YwFkFqclxU

Here's a vid I made of the Toronto Skyline from the Gardiner Expressway. This one is unedited / not sped up to let you take it all in.

Another shot that caught my eye, the picture was supposed to be of the construction site in the foreground (an underground electrical station), but the skyline with Southcore on full display is what really grabbed my attention:


photo by Red Mars on UT.

I think he's talking about the shot before, with Scotia front and center.

Weird, but those shots hardly look like Montreal because neither has Place Ville Marie. PVM is Canada's most iconic office tower and Montreal just doesn't look like Montreal without her.

I don't know, my vote would go to Scotia Place for Canada's most iconic tower.

Mine would certainly go with The Bow.
