Great Canadian Skyline Thread II

[Rico Rommheim]

That view of downtown mtl is so cool, too bad Longueuil had to put itself in the way.

That is one of the best panoramas of Montreal I have ever seen!

No mont Royal, no St. Lawrence, no bridge... it's an unusual angle and I like it! Thanks for the share.

Homeboy comment posted on another forum (realize I stand in the empty “ignore” room” but that's life :-)

Although it's wildly ridiculous to dare suggest that Toronto deserves number 2 status in the North America skyline game (Chicago's superior height, historical stock)... T.O. has built something rather unique that I would coin as "skyline as mountains and foothills" (running north for miles/kilometers with a western tangent). *Not an original thought of course.

Mountains (and emerging mountains) south to north starting from the south/lakeshore:
-Southcore
-the big guy of course: huge financial district core
-Yonge and Bloor
- Yonge and Eglinton (emerging)
- North York (huge, long outlier that is a foothills/mountain range - lacking height)

Future mountains (if they ever proceed as planned/pandemic unknowns):
- Yonge waterfront area
-Yonge south of Bloor (Gerrard/College etc)

Foothills (tall and not so tall):
-(former ;-) Entertainment District, Cityplace, Fort York
-Humber Bay Parks (wannabe mountain with existing builds and future plans)
- Bloor and Jarvis/Sherbourne/Parliament (starting to dream of an upgrade to smaller mountain status)
-Yonge and St. Clair
-North York (as noted above, long almost mountain range of it's own but persisting lack of height- sorta foothill/tall plateau

**Maybe T.O. is better characterized as a skyline roller coaster. Impossible to ever capture all of it in any real detail thro the lens.

You see these once in a blue moon. Great pic.

Btw, you can just spot the prairies river if you look really close.

Thanks so much for your kind words.

Great perspective and Augustana (bottom right) really strutting.

Cannot wait for Jasper/108st and Shift on 106st to fill that gap.

Not my favourite angle. It highlights the disporportional heights in the Ice District. Fortunately, it doesn't show up very often. The photo with the guy on the penny farthing is awesome. That's BALLS

That last Motreal picture is great. A very interesting angle.
