I remember from past conversations people (who've seldom/never been here) saying "Calgary's such a flat city"

^And a skirt.

WhipperSnapper · #**10046** Posted **Feb 13, 2019, 4:42 PM**

Still can be a guy in a skirt and pantyhose. Afterall, It's not a day to be without a coat.

It's really just the eastern half of the city that's flat. The rest is very hilly. Then again, most people arrive at the airport in the Northeast and see the treeless expanse and assume that's the entire city.

^That's a great view of the big boys in Calgary.

Black Star · #**10049** Posted **Feb 13, 2019, 5:11 PM**

^Definitely next level stuff.

And a couple more color variants to the houses in the foreground and it could be a shot of Newfoundland....

I wish there were a building like EAP in that area to add some variation to the flat tops. Suncor has some angles to the roof but it blends in with Telus Sky to make a similar silhouette to the Bow.

WhipperSnapper · #**10051** Posted **Feb 13, 2019, 5:17 PM**

Is it a big deal anyways? Why dredge up past conversations?

I wonder if it's more the table top being created than the flat tops of the individual buildings.

That too. Our top four buildings are within blocks of each other and are all similar in height.

Chadillaccc · #**10054** Posted **Feb 14, 2019, 3:20 AM**

It's actually only 3 blocks... 2.5 if you consider that the Bow is on the west half and Brookfield is on the east half of their respective blocks.
