Explanation: Taken on February 20, five different exposures made in rapid succession were used to created this tantalizing telephoto image. In combination, they reveal a wide range of brightness visible to the eye on that frigid evening, from the urban glow of the Quebec City skyline to the triple conjunction of Moon, Venus and Mars. Shortly after sunset the young Moon shows off its bright crescent next to brilliant Venus. Fainter Mars is near the top of the frame. Though details in the Moon's sunlit crescent are washed out, features on the dark, shadowed part of the lunar disk are remarkably clear. Still lacking city lights the lunar night is illuminated solely by earthshine, light reflected from the sunlit side of planet Earth.

Toronto looks so cold. What is that white stuff on the ground?

I know! It looks like with all the recent construction, the skyline has literally doubled.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Can't wait until we see the other towers rise and fill that gap...Montreal will finally have its
10th skyscraper!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Got it all? Sure, it's got nice architecture, great hilly surroundings, the best looking girls in the country (by far), but it doesn't have a super tall skyscra.....uh, what now? They're getting one of those, too? —, it really does have it all...

Great shot.

One can say many things about Niagara Falls, both good and bad, but it does have a good skyline.

From a distance. When you get up close, the fugliness of the Skylon tower and the ridiculousness of the Hilton Annex (with the silly cupola) begin to overwhelm the senses in a negative fashion.
