RIP to Jasonzed from Urban Toronto. I've been enjoying (and re-posting) his aerial photography of Toronto & Mississauga neighbourhoods, construction sites, and skylines for years now. Just learned that he passed away last week - this was his final post:

Halifax is really not a monumental city with a downtown that offers sweeping vistas. It's mostly a blob of fine-grained medium-scale stuff. If you have a cube of buildings of mostly roughly the same height, from outside it just looks like a wall of whatever the closest buildings are.
Until I scrolled right to see the parts off my screen at first glance, I couldn't even place that as Halifax. Very unusual angle to my eyes.

I'm really going to miss his Mississauga pics. He was such an amazing contributor and from all accounts seemed like a great guy. I found that like myself he had a lot of civic pride in Sauga' and he really showcased it well. Rest peacefully Jason. You will be missed.

Wow, sad to hear of Jasonzed's passing. Being another Mississauga guy, I also enjoyed his contributions on UrbanToronto before I was banned from there. His photos are the only thing I miss about UrbanToronto, and I wish I could have continued to see them.

Wow, RIP to Jason. I had been reposting a lot of his photos here from UT recently. Awful news.

The cladding on 1000 DLG isn't salmon green, it's grey. The photo is making it look that way.

That's kind of surprising to me. While pomo is not one of my favourite styles, 1000 RLB is one example that I really enjoy.

I think it's aging much better than the vast majority of pomo skyscrapers. And I can't imagine Montreal's skyline without it. I like its silhouette.

I also don't see any pink in its granite cladding, contrary to this one...
