Great finds TorontoDrew:

Many shots never see before. That high angle up Bay Street to Old City Hall is a "mike drop" in urban canyon discussions lol. Great pics.

Darko take a strong pill... this is pretty much the Montreal thread. Deep breathing when another city posts.

^ Thanks for those pictures. I've heard of Black Creek Pioneer Village, but I have never been and up to now, I don't even recall seeing pictures of it. It looks impressive though... I didn't notice any signs of the surrounding metropolis at all.

It's on the northern edge of the city, you can check it out on streetsview. https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.7748803,-...EVQn1v212jrLcGMHYke1A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656


I think it's in a bit of a valley as well and they have done a good job by the looks of it to create a decent green buffer around it.

They do a pretty good job of "enclaving" the Pioneer Village off so that you hardly notice its almost adjacent to the 401 and in very close proximity to the Jane & Finch area, which is full of older residential highrises. It's an interesting juxtaposition of a recreated historical area surrounded by some of the most modernist urban planning you can find.

Great Vancouver shots, I love seeing some grit mixed in with all that manicured perfection.
