Calgary sure is photogenic! Thanks Chad.

Thanks for sharing those great images of Calgary, it's quite a skyline.

I took the following of Yonge n Eglinton (Central Toronto) two days ago from Sunnybrook Park, not very far away;

My wife stayed at the Sheraton Centre last weekend and took a few pix from the 24th floor:

I agree, but huge props need to go to the photographer, as these shots are spectacular.

The top half is empty?

some angles sure... not all.. table top or not... it will drastically change the shape of the Montreal skyline.

The top half is occupied by replicants? They can see in the dark and don't need lights.

Although all our tallest are the same height, I don't really get that table top feel from the Montreal skyline like in Ottawa for example. There are peaks and valleys and all the new towers should make things even better.

I am sometimes critical of table-top skylines but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to have some harmony when it comes to height.

Taipei's skyline kinda looks silly with the huge Taipei 101 sticking out from it.

OTOH, Hong Kong's skyline was arguably table-top for a long time, and was still considered one of the most spectacular in the world before they built the International Centre of Commerce, which kinda stands out.

Sao Paulo doesn't have that much variety in building height either, but is still impressive.

Isn't there supposed to be LEDs or some sort of lighting feature on Stantec?
