I can count about 20 towers that will be added to this view in the next few years. I think the Montreal skyline has finally matured into a higher level. And it's only getting started.

In this shot alone, without a zoom-out I can name the following towers u/c and proposals of: YUL towers, the HI, the two 20-storey towers on the old franciscan church site on R-L, the Icones, the Roccabellas, the 2 towers on Lucien-L'Allier, the TDC2, 3 and the 750-600 Peel towers, the Drummond towers, the courts du Roi tower on Mackay, the future development at Guy/ R-L, and the O'Nessy towers. That's about 20 in this shot alone. It's nuts.

Cold,

I know you're a huge Edmonton booster, but sometimes I really question your photo selection and what you're ultimately trying to portray the city as. Can you even try and post a more unflattering picture than you just did? Not even sure what you're trying to showcase here.

I think the urban bees were more of the focus of that picture...

I'm rather indifferent to Shangra La and Trump Vancouver but they have done wonders for the skyline by riding the city of it's "table top".

The glass portion of that Westin looks cool with the clarity and the curves. The podium not so much.

An urban beehive is pretty cool in my books.

Nice full waterfront-to-Bloor coverage here. Could do with being a little zoomed-in and sans the guy standing there.
