Thank you, but it is really all the talented photographers out there. Throw in some Mother Nature, and there you have it.

BTW, I find that Flickr can be very addicting.

Those Toronto shots are Jaw-dropping!!

Also, love the 3D Google of Toronto.. seems like it's pretty recent as it includes Ice towers, L tower, Aura and a redevelopped Union station I believe?

everyone should diffinately check out the new Google 3D mesh for toronto, it's covers a huge area from Bowmanville on the east, Mississauga on the west and Vaughan in the North

Random section of Mississauga

The uncompressed imagine looks even better in Google earth and with atmosphere selected.

you can see Longueuil and Laval in 3D

Even some parts of the Couronne Nord are in 3D.

The best part is that it is very recent's maybe less than 6 months old

It seems that Google has been adding the mesh to toronto a piece at a time, I noticed the Scarborough to Bowmanvile was added 5 months ago, and North York Etobicoke and Mississauga, Etobicoke a couple of months ago, and this week the CBD was added. I am assuming they will continue to add more parts of the GTA further west to Oakvile and beyond.

One advantage for Toronto being added later than most major north american cities is that the data is fresher and Google continues to improve the autogen mesh technology.

I'm still waiting impatiently for Hamilton. (Just because I'm too lazy to redo my efforts to make the whole skyline in sketchup).

Brizzy82 · #**3572** Posted **Jan 10, 2015, 3:19 AM**

couple of iphone Winnipeg pics I took today showing the progress of Heritage Landing

Not a great tower, but its the tallest under construction right now at roughly 86 m (25 storeys)

Two issues:
1. The last time I let my computer upgrade from 8 to 8.1 it spent 1.5-2 hours doing things of some sort, then at decided it didn't actually want to change and stopped upgrading defaulting back to 8. So I don't trust it to try again.
2. Can you upload sketchup models in bing maps? I'm pretty sure it's a google product.

Ah, okay.

If I want to see Hamilton in 3-D I'll go back and climb the escarpment. Much better graphics.

Love that Pacific lake shot. Everything looks expensive in it, which is great!
