That Nexen building is elegant. I never paid much attention to it before.

LMAO! Bob Everything would be better to you if it was 100 feet taller!

I've always liked the Nexen (and by always, I mean when I learned of its existence two years ago ). It's not a square glass box which I like, though its floor plate is probably rather inefficient, the aluminum looks pretty good on the design too.

Don't even joke. I'd be arrested for vandalism, property damage, etc.

That Vancouver shot with the lightning is great. Is it an older one? I definitely don't recall hearing any thunder in a very long time. That Calgary shot is also really great, I definitely wanna get back out there for a visit sometime, last time I was there was in June 2011.

Anyway, here are a few Vancouver shots I took last weekend when it was warm and sunny...

Yeah it is a pretty awesome shot. Also of note is that this photo isn't taken from rural farmland as it appears, it's actually taken from one of the largest urban parks on the continent

Nevermind. I always liked the ''clash'' between skyscrapers and wild fields. Both of two worlds in one photo !

I like your outlook. Your basically always positive about any and every city you respond/post about. It's very nice and refreshing.

Canada has some great cities, that's for sure. Loved that last Calgary shot. Hoping to make it out there on Sunday.

No problem.



I posted a similar photo to this a few months ago, but this one is much better imo.

Was wondering if that observatory tower in Calgary is a popular touristic destination just as the CN tower in Toronto ? And how expensive is it ?
