Yeah, that was a particularly painful example to look at.. It looks like a video game or something.

This lighting scheme is extremely tacky!

Me too, it was one of the biggest things that stuck out to me when I was in Montreal. The amount of light everywhere really contributed to the 'party' vibe I think.

The lighting looks much more garish in these pics than they do in reality. The little green squares are very intense at the top, but the green lighting on the facades is much more subdued when you see it in person.

I like how everything is lit up in Montreal. It adds to the vibe, trust me. The city feels alive at night.

No LEDS in that shot. Just long exposure making the lights much brighter than in reality.

On that note, I think the CN Tower's lights were executed wonderfully! They light up the sky without being tacky.

Awesome find! Didn't recognize it at first. Are there only windows on one half of the roof?

What a great photo. All the places I ever happen to be at all get Metrotown's bad angle, so this was nice

Looks like the picture has been stretched to make the buildings seem taller...
