Here you go Cal, all your fantasies in one shot. A chick on a skyscraper in Moscow's Financial District. I believe you can drop by the Shoppers at Y&D if you run out of Kleenex:

The last lady and Sigourney Weaver (who may look meh now because she's older) look fairly fine, but the rest are a bit fugly. Going back to that Russian pic, I'm not going to be surprised if that model had that photo taken for money....seeing as how the monthly average income of Moscow is.

Models work for money, yes.

I wasn't clear. I mean working for money because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options for many people who live in Moscow. There's a huge disparity between the wealthy and low-wealth in Russia....though Moscow shows it well. (I mean that a majority of the population is low-wealth, maybe some resort to modelling?)

I'm having a hard time placing that image.

Was it taken from the roof of the Radisson with a very strong zoom lens? I wasn't aware of a public area (or even a fenced area) like that on it though.

The only other thing from that angle that I can think of is the Roof of the World club/bar but it wouldn't other buildings in the foreground before the pyramid thing.

I don't know, I think the twist "away" from Centre St and the Bow will be a cool view.

I agree. The coolest part is the pixelated facade morphing from the north and south.

Looking great. Calgary's 3 newest towers are my 3 favorite in your city, being the 3 tallest is an added bonus.

You say modelling but sound like you mean prostitution.

Don't get me wrong, I like this tower a lot and from that angle it is indeed a nicer shot, but straight south I don't love it.

Yea....I think that's something of a lifestyle that occurs over there...like anywhere else really.

A view from our new urban park: fountains, off-leash, community gardens, lots of grass, trees.

Turf can be fun in urban parks. People can sit and it's easy to clean, assuming municipal workers hose it down at night every few days.
