Just purely for the record, that aerial shot of the Vancouver downtown peninsula is substantially out of date (about four or five years). Numerous towers, both residential and commercial, are absent. The city's current 2nd tallest, for instance, is still years from beginning construction.

One of the few colours on bc place that I like. Most other colours or set of colours make it look tacky. The red and green Christmas combo is particularly horrendous.

I love the old Gothic mansions up there, very Scottish and English manor in style.

That one Montreal shot from Westmount is neat, and reminds me of some angles you get on Hamilton.

Also that one shot from Tour des Canadiens looking west almost looks like the whole Hamilton skyline.
