Well, I waited like 7 hours apparently so looks like I'm taking first post again.

Another set from my own lens.

The installation wpuld have been very popular if animated.I had no idea the animatronics got axed. So all we have know is a chrome statue of 2 Wacky Inflatable Tube men. I still like it but damn that —.

Thought this was a very cool pic from Reddit. Probably from a drone?

Wow! That's the storm that just happened! I have ground photos of it. It was intense. It looks too low to be a plane, and nearest skyscraper is 1 km directly north (left) and still UC, so definitely a drone. Amazing shot.

Would that view be from over Kensington looking east? You get so used to seeing the mountains in the background of Calgary shots that I'm not sure If have my bearings.

That's from West Hillhurst (19 Street foreground, 14 Street and 10 street [Kensington] midground) looking east at downtown. The opposite view than the one that typically includes the mountains.

Nice shots. It drives me insane how Telus Sky and the Bow merge together into a fat box from that angle in the last pic though. Shouldn’t the light display be on at that hour? Would at least separate them more.

Wow! Glad to see someone with a drone got a pic of that storm. I’ve never heard such loud thunder or seen such crazy cloud formations before. It’s even more massive than I thought from that angle. I couldn’t tell the scale or if it was localized to where I live in the SE.

(fingers crossed for no 2nd wave in the meantime...)

It's the neighborhood I go to buy specialized electric stuff. During peak Covid, I've also gotten middle-of-the-night food a couple times from that extremely non-urban McDonald's (you can see the big yellow M in the pic) that occupies a prime lot bordering both Quebec and Main streets.

I'm just northeast of there.

I remember going to that McDonald's back in the 90s and the site did in fact feel very non-urban, just a McD's surrounded by a bunch of lowrise buildings and parking lots. It looks totally different now.

Only going to get better too with VSLP, BN HQ, Maestria and 1 Square Phillips adding some serious bulk and depth to the Eastern portion of the skyline. Can't wait to see the view in a few years.

Great Montreal pics.

Yesterday I was at the kondirondak lookout and it occured to me that with Maestria (202m + 185m, VSLP (200m), NB (200m), Square phillips (200m) and the 455 Rene-Levesque twins (156m + ???), the east side for he skyline will become dominant over the west side (bell centre cluster). The view from Mont-Royal will be bonkers in 3 or 4 years.

Great MTL pics!

Insane Edmonton shot

The view from Mount Royal is gonna drastically change within the next few years with these new ~200 m towers all popping up and I am here for it !!
