Yeah true. The fact that the highests buildings are roughly 100 meters tall and located on a 100 meters hill is giving the ''impression'' on a solid 150 to 200m tall skyline !

This is a picture from me taken 40km east of Québec City. You clearly see the impact of the Quebec hill on the Skyline from there.
Also, many midrises between 10 and 20fl are located in Lower Town and are not visible from that angle. Thats why it's so difficult to capture the entire Skyline in a single shoot...

Do we really care how high or low Québec ranks as a skyline? We already know that it can be gorgeous and impressive from many angles. That's enough for me <3

Not that I don't like Montreal, (Cause I do),
but this Thread is too Montreal focused/ Dominated of late.

We go through phases. Wait till late next year when all the u/c Toronto skyscrapers, which are in excavation or surface level right now, pass the 100m barrier. There'll be lots of new content spamming this thread until then, there's nothing in these parts that haven't been seen.

Halifax pano. On the far right you can see the suspension bridges, shipyard, and another skyline along the Bedford Basin.

Here's a shot focused more on the South End and cruise ship terminal area:
