Perhaps the greatest thing about Montreal's skyline shots isn't the skyline but the fantastic, dense, layered foreground...just beckoning for a stroll.

I terms of height and 'wow' I must admit I don't really find Montreal's skyline outstanding. But its strength lies in the diverse architecture and the few old highrises, Mont Royal as a backdrop, and it more specifically strikes me as unique with Old Montreal in the foreground.

Of course, the BIA map makes sense in this context as none of those towers are actually in Yorkville.

Man, just looking over the last few pages, some fantastic shots of Montreal, Toronto, and Calgary.

I feel it is Canadian culture to always undersell ourselves and to feel that the grass always greener on the other side, but for a country of only 36 million we have some pretty magnificent cities.

Keep posting the great pics!

Stantec and JW Mariott are going to bring Edmonton's skyline to a new level.

Vancouver aerials are always great. Funny how the land looks like it's just a couple metres thick too, just floating on the water,.

Calgary looks amazing. Great Van and TO aerial as well. Montreal looks great too, rich in culture and architecture.

Agree fully, the last few sets make our largest 4 look fantastic.
