10 years from now, I can foresee that Toronto will have a jaw-dropping skyline. At least in terms of North American development. As we watch it happening everyday, progress is hard to detect but it is happening. Breadth, Width and Height all rapidly ascending.

The density is definitely increasing at a good pace, but Toronto needs some really tall towers to punch far above the average skyscraper height level, like in the 350 - 450 meter level, something that really stands out like the CN Tower does. Would be nice to see some 600 metre+ towers like Asian and Middle Eastern cities are putting up, but I just don't see that happening here. At least the skyline is continuing to grow like a weed, and will continue to get more and more impressive each year.

Here is how Toronto will look from the west in 5 years if every proposal gets built:

Strongly disagree. I'm rarely guilty of that. You likely have staunchly 'Canadian' tastes so don't see what the problem is. I encounter it every day. You like what you like so if someone doesn't like it, the only explanation that makes sense to you is the 'grass is greener' mentality.

How could it be ugly if I like it????

Love this picture, very cool.

And nice to see Calgary starting to get a little more form outside of the downtown core.

Good job on the night lights of Vancouver..I could only imagine how it would look coming into port in that city at night.

Great shots of Winnipeg Brizzy!
