Petro Canada has always looked nice from the slimmest side. Too bad it has a bit of the same issues as the Bow, in that usually it's the fatter side that's on view.

It seems like a quality building, but feels VERY 80s.

Even on the "fat" side it is only half the Bow. At least it has a podium, and doesn't have a "backside".

That bow rendering has been heavily stretched width wise, where's the link to the original?

Nice shot. Looking forward to the rapid evolution of the eastern inner-city neighbourhoods -Vic park, EV, Inglewood, and Bridgeland. Can't wait into the St. Patricks island re-development and bridge open too. Very smart move by the city, it's like a new Prince's Island for these quickly growing neighbourhoods.

^^^ A tad too processed and something went wonky during his focusing or when he merged the photos into the panorama as over 50% of the buildings are out of focus.

For whatever reason, mine from yesterday also turned out fairly blurry.

Love this angle of downtown and Beltline. That Beltline density is really coming along.
