Wow, nice. I'm trying to picture how it looked when it was just the railroad and a few tents and wood buildings.

Beautfiul picture, but those lots along the train really need to start getting developed. Ugliest strip in the inner-city right there.

Place 10, Marriott, 6th & Tenth should help.

8th St may be a good catalyst too...

Telus Sky and Brookfield Place are going to look amazing from here.

It will look like a wall of 220+ meter giants! With Calgary Tower being partially framed in by Telus Sky.

Thanks Ctrl Alt Del. It's always a treat when you post!

Brookfield Place is going to add a lot of power to the skyline from that angle.

The topography in Calgary often hides the density of the Beltline and around DT from many vantage points. I really like how there are completely different views available from all around the city.

Nice pic!

That's the angle that makes me most hope the Palliser Balls never get built. From pretty well anywhere in SW (including my bedroom) the Calgary Tower has a nice clean look, standing apart from the skyline. Obscuring the shaft with mediocre office towers will detract from the tower while adding nothing of worth to the skyline.

Over time the tower will either become kinda quirky and cool or it will be lost in the skyline and become entirely irrelevant. I'm hoping for quirky.
