We don't see the Northern lights in the city that often, but this year it has been happening a lot.

Nice pics. You made an ugly part of Richmond look pretty ethereal in those shots.

Fun fact: that Pier 73 restaurant is in the hotel that Air Canada sends people it bumps off of flights connecting through Vancouver. The $20 voucher gets you about 2/3 of one of the worst steak dinners you'll ever eat in your life.

Clayton Perry is the photographer. I'm just a Flickr cherry picker.

Hmm, interesting. I may not want to eat there, but I wouldn't mind having a coffee on their outside deck.

Love those mountains in the background in Montreal. If only Longueuil would look nicer...

Two pictures of the city from today, not by me, that I love.

Rick Mercer will play the Mayor of St. John's in the final episode of Republic of Doyle. They were wrapping up some scenes on Water Street today.

Rose & Thistle cracks me up. It's a typical dingy pub - VLT machines and the works. But they air Ru Paul's Drag Race for the mostly straight patrons like a sports program.


CBC

And this guy had a great view of the sun/snow today:

Love the old commerce court.

Also, always wondered why the British never jumped on board with the skyscraper trend. Granted London and a few other cities had highrises and some pretty tall/impressive office tower, but nothing over 20 floors, and not in great quantity. Maybe they weren't needed, or desired?

Perhaps it was a nouveau rich thing to do for Americans and the money in Britain weren't ones to take up fads that were popular in the US.

In the early 20th century, Europe did not have the same kind of growth as America did. Skyscrapers were probably frowned upon by Europeans - so they probably had some height limits like we do in Montreal.
