Your files were resized because there is an "h" in front of the file extension. The full size images can be seen by removing that "h" in the URL. It's better to post the downsized versions and link to full size, so that the images can be seen on the forum without scrolling or zooming.

I knew about that trick with the "h", but I didn't notice imgur inserted it into the link automatically. Thanks

Yes, there will be.

The one to Scotia Centre has been there the whole time. They didn't demolish the superstructure of the original bridge from The Bow Parkade to Scotia Centre, they just kept it on stilts and are close to the point where they'll start work on it again.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to the bridge, but the structure behind it, along the parkade - they made lots of progress on that. Glad to know it will continue to Bow Valley Square too, thanks!

I'm in the BMO building, so I've got a great view of the construction on Brookfield Place. When the weather is a little nicer, I'll post some pics from up here.

Looks like the steel has caught the concrete now. Haven't seen the core rise for a while, wonder if the cold weather is affecting them.

Trades had time off for Christmas and new years.

They are in the midst of a core step, the climbing forms get dismantled and swapped around a bit, should be back on weekly jumps by the end of next week

I was wondering if that was part of it, thanks.

Looking at the pictures I am reminded of Shrek:

Shrek: Listen, little donkey. Take a look at me, what am I?
Donkey: Uh... [looks Shrek up and down] really tall?

Sometimes I think this is going to be really cool and sometimes I'm stuck thinking they are building the building they should have built in 1978. It looks like it is going to be a great addition to the variety of really talls in Calgary.
