I don't know if this link has ever been posted. Enjoy a look back at Calgary's changing skyline.

^^^ I took this panoramic today just so I can compare it a few years down the road. It will look so different.

If you want a contrast: compare the vapor cloud from Bankers Hall East and Bankers Hall West. What a big difference 10 years can make in efficiency

Guardian becoming noticeable. Vic Park filling out, just need to get a few key lots going. Hopefully Marriott Club Sport starts this summer.

Guardian might look like the tallest in the skyline from that angle.

Never thought of that. Will be a close call between the Guardian towers, Bow, Telus Sky, and BP depending on the zoom settings. Things are getting too close, we need that Supertall!

Nothing too interesting photography wise, but the view from our new home in Bridgeland has a decent shot of the skyline to look at.



I was hoping to be able to watch Telus and/or Brookfield rise from this vantage point, but it looks like Telus would be blocked by the Bow, and Brookfield (at least partially) by Petro Canada. I think it's really time to get that IOL site going!
