Brentwood looks like Calgary's Downtown West End and downtown Victoria had a elephantine baby.

There's not enough full panorama skyline shots from Toronto or Montreal in here. I feel like all I see is Calgary and Vancouver recently. Why has nobody taken that epic money shot from Toronto island showing Cityplace across the finance district to the Toronto Star building, preferably right at night when the lights are glistening onto the water. I really wanna see that again, the most recent one was from last December.

Not enough Toronto and Montreal? Really? If you were to tabulate the amount of photos in this thread from each city easily 70% would be those two.

It's been like what, a week of Vancouver getting some attention to make up for the usual To-Mon-Cal bombardment? (With a sprinkling of St. John's.)

Lets not exaggerate. Van and especially Cal have gotten their fare share of representation here.

In the second picture, does anyone know what the four buildings are in the lower right corner? They have the weird tri-chimney looking things, and all seerm to share some similar roof elements. Just curious

This is a task I feel like attempting in the near future... and then everybody will have some real numbers at their fingertips when they make their posts.

Hehe, my sincerest apologies for that. I am sure we can now again return to posting other people's Flickr photos.

(No, but really. Less random Flickr photos and more self-taken photos, please.)
