That last Vancouver shot sucked me in. I can't stop staring at it. There's just so much to look at.

The compression makes the skyline look like it is Hong Kong and I find the contrast too pronouced, but it is still a very nice one.

Yep, pretty much, Vancouver taking over this thread. Not enough Calgary in this thread though, they have a great skyline as well.

I don't mind Vancouver taking over this thread for a while. With so many gorgeous pics recently, I'm now convince that Vancouver has the best skyline in the country in terms of aesthetics (skyline itself + setting). It's not even a contest anymore.

I think it has the highest quality of buildings, but I still prefer the shape of Montreal. They're close though for overall fave.
