Not to mention the hypocrisy of it all. Is wearing leather unacceptable?

Chad, great shots, how'd you get this aerial of downtown??

Chadillaccc · #**9225** Posted **May 8, 2014, 7:32 PM**

I got it from my plane when we were circling the city on approach. I also managed to get one of downtown Coquitlam, though it isn't very good.

All of the images in that post except for "Centuries" and "Kitsilano" were taken from some form of transportation vehicle (plane, seabus, Skytrain, aquabus).

Very cool, looks like you got a great day to circle the city on approach. Given the hundreds/thousands of times I've flown into YVR I've never flown over downtown like that, we always circle over the Georgia Straight.

Denscity · #**9227** Posted **May 8, 2014, 8:31 PM**

^^^ Ya ive never circled over downtown. Only over the Straight as well.

Chadillaccc · #**9228** Posted **May 8, 2014, 8:54 PM**

Yeah, we flew directly over the metropolitan area. Basically entering the area over Maple Ridge, following the Burrard Inlet all the way to Stanley Park, and then over the Salish Sea, and landed heading east on the lateral runway at YVR.

^ someone should photoshop those two shots together. Lighting is almost identical.

I want to see that almost as much as and updated shot of winnipeg with a fortress rendering tossed in XD

what are those two towers rising by the CN?

they remind me of a few of the Oxford place towers

TRiToNDREyJA · #**9233** Posted **May 9, 2014, 10:05 PM**

A different side of Vancouver but still with mountains, clouds, green and skyscrapers.

ScreamingViking · #**9235** Posted **May 10, 2014, 5:47 AM**

I was looking back over this thread, and this picture still mesmerizes me.

Seeing Vancouver during a storm is a rare thing, but it's also different to see the skyline without the mountains visible in the background (though it looks like a mountain ridge is vaguely apparent to left of the bolt)
