These two pics are majestic in a way that no other city in this country is, save for Toronto from certain angles (like landing at Billy Bishop). This is what we're talking about when we say that Montreal's skyline is the second best in Canada.

The western half of the Beltline today, taken from the newly completed 107-meter Park Point during an extreme forest fire season, by SurrealPlaces on SRC. Usually the Rockies would be extremely prominent across the entire horizon.

Not much variety or character left in Toronto's skyline. Just a sea of condo's now, so I think we should declare Montreal as having the best skyline in Canada.

It's nice to see more and more decorative lighting on buildings. The cost must be coming down a lot with LEDs.
