^ Wow, that picture is seriously cool! Toronto has hands down one of the most impressive skylines in Southern Ontario!!

Definitely the best skyline east of Hamilton and west of Oshawa.

Mrs Sauga · #**7205** Posted **Sep 11, 2015, 1:52 AM**

Might even be the best skyline in the GTA!

^ From that angle Calgary looks very small.

Yeah, and from the Andromeda Galaxy, Earth looks very small too!

Lol!!!

Assuming this wasn't simply a trolling comment I can admit that because Calgary is in the prairie the end of the city, particularly in the NE (the angle in the photo) seems quite abrupt. Nosehill also hides a large portion of the NW from the south.

Those types of skyline shots are never really flattering.

Calgarian · #**7211** Posted **Sep 11, 2015, 5:50 PM**

Aome decent skyline shots in this crazy guy's video. He also has a few Vancouver videos on his youtube page.

It is defferent from the Big 3 that it doesn't have midrises to highrises scattered everywhere. Maybe that makes it feel small to him.

Really? I see multiple clusters of suburban high rises and mid rises in that picture. From that high up every city looks relatively flat except for DT. Same goes for Toronto.

WhipperSnapper · #**7216** Posted **Sep 11, 2015, 6:56 PM**

Few and far between by comparison.

koops65 · #**7217** Posted **Sep 11, 2015, 6:57 PM**

My point was that from far enough away, everything looks small...

Yes but keep in mind what's missing: Macleod trail, MRU, Kensington, U of C, Westbrook, Quarry Park, Seton, University City, Foothills Hospital, SunPark Plaza....

How does this one from Montreal look any different?

Exactly!

WhipperSnapper · #**7220** Posted **Sep 11, 2015, 7:13 PM**

Think everyone got it koops. Doesn't change that a small cluster on Macleod, a few isolated towers, one isolated tower complex and a hospital offers a short foreground compared to the big 3.
