Great shot of Toronto and love those fall Edmonton shots on the previous page.

^ Nice shots of Montreal too. We tend to see the same angles often when it comes to Mtl, but some of those shots are pretty impressive nonetheless.

you know, it is kind of funny you say that but there are just so many angles you can take pictures from.. and that goes for every city. I have seen the same angles in other cities too... so I don't get it... clearly, that is very recent shots of Montreal. Montreal, #2 with most under construction with towers over 100m in Canada.

Downtown Ottawa 2019. Two new 27 floor towers are u/c where it drops off a bit to the right, and three more have been approved in that same area for 23, 25 and 35, with the tallest edging the current tallest (brown international style tower in the centre of the image) by 4 meters.

Pimisi station, with the Tunney's Pasture area at the left. The NCC is putting out an RFQ to redevelop this vacant lot at the end of the month. Whatever development is approved, along with the new Central Library out of frame immediately to the right, should be completed by 2024-25.

It also applies to other cities, except maybe Van and TO, which both have a number of second-tier skylines. By the way, your shots also showed a number of unique angles so my comment was not fair. I just noticed the Griffintown shots as I was quickly scrolling down on my phone and I tend to think we see that angle often. However in this case the quality is fantastic.

Leonard Cohen would approve of those delightful Montreal shots. The layers, the history, the eclecticism and variety of architectural styles....Rome wasn't built in a day, and thankfully, neither was Montreal.

lol... I'm not here to argue with you. That shot from Griffintown is probably now, one of Montreal's best angles showcasing the actual depth and urban fabric currently being constructed in that area and the downtown core.

The view from the mountain, now that I would understand being the "Same angle" clearly , as we cannot move the — mountain! only new towers being constructed will change the skyline from that view... and other views of course.... so I don't understand what you are saying.... clearly, in the last 5 years, the core has changed quite a bit and it is only getting bigger and wider... and a little taller. We have tons of 10 to 12 storey buildings mixed in and is hidden from taller towers. The only way to see it is by walking on the streets of Montreal.

I find it quite funny when Montreal skyline photos are posted, majority of these forumers don't even comment on them, yet they know damn right Montreal is very unique and quite big

and Ill post it again

I don't think Le Calmar's comment was meant to be taken as a complaint and no one here is disputing the additional bulk and height that's been built recently and is being built currently.

We see the mountain angle a lot. We see the view from Pont Jacques-Cartier a lot. We see the view from Pont Samuel-Champlain a lot. That's not a bad thing - they're all good views and we enjoy seeing them. We just see them a lot. That's all.

I think Le Calmar is agreeing with you, not arguing with you.

Yeah I was not arguing at all I noticed nobody commented on the high quality pictures from the previous page even though Toronto and Edmonton were mentioned. I assumed it may have to do with the fact it was showing an often-seen angle (view from Griffintown), but I subsequently made a correction as I acknowledged many other less common angles were shown.
