I think the Cherry Blossoms are when Vancouver is at it's most beautiful.

Calgary's best time is usually May - June when everything is super green, after that it starts to get brown again.

Missing Sausage Skyline

A little pic of Mississauga's skyline from the western terminus of Burnamthorpe bridge, by where it crosses the Credit River:

Some pictures of downtown Vancouver that I took yesterday when I was working on the 16th floor of 3 Bentall Centre.

For some reason I've always loved that S-curve in the street near the black Bentall tower.

I really enjoyed this picture in particular. It's one of the rare pictures posted here that presents Toronto's geography as an asset ; I mean, isn't it extraordinary how Toronto's CBD was built on a point into endless freshwaters, extended by islands ? Wow. I love that streets such as Queen go from one side of the point to the other. Thanks for the perspective.

And here's more from Montreal.

I feel sorry for the parents that they have such a stupid kid. They more than likely invested heavily to give him opportunity, education, and to keep him safe so he can have a great life and this is what he does with it?

Yea, this looks like a trolling video, there's a definite lack of realism in that animation/video.

those are some great Hamilton shots. The skyline from that elevation always reminds me of Montreal.. or a baby-Montreal skyline. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Hammer's skyline changes in the coming years.
