That's probably my favourite angle of the Toronto skyline thanks to the tree canopy. Very nice!

fantastic mountain-peak vantage point of the mother of all Canadian skylines.

The big bank towers are still a lot more visible from the east which makes for a dramatic skyline view. Also helps that Broadview Ave is on the ridge of a valley so you can get a clear vantage.

The view looking down Dundas W from around Dufferin is great for seeing the towers too, but harder to capture as you have to stand in the middle of the street to get it!

East view has always been best view in my opinion. Driving into downtown on the Gardiner from the east gives way more variety in colour, building materials, and densities than the predominantly blue-glass condo view coming in from the West.
