Love the Montreal aerial! Usually we see that angel as a skyline photo from the top of the hill, but nice to see the spread out aerial view

Views from the SW or SE seem to be the only ones that manage to capture both its length and breadth.

Montreal has an amazing skyline.

It looks like it developed naturally over time and not just due to a bunch of McDevelopments. Interesting architectural designs and the buildings are well spaced and the skyline balanced.

My 3 favorite skylines of Canada are {in no particular order} Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto but Toronto Yorkville/Bloor not downtown. Midtown looks organic and natural while downtown looks to packed together and I can't stand all the blue glass monotony of CityPlace and Southcore.

Love that Toronto shot. Really shows the breadth of the skyline.

I hope Ice condos, L Tower and the new Delta-Southcore get some interesting nighttime lighting features.

That Beltline shot of Calgary really illustrates how negatively affected development south of the CP tracks has been! Need some 700 footers south of the tracks.
