Ottawa from above - Page 7

Based on the lack of cars on the street and the missing crane at SoHo Italia, I'm guessing Spring 2020.

Maybe Little iTALLy? Corso iTALLia?

I guess this could be considered 'above'.

Eclipse last night from the Plateau, courtesy the roof of my Volvo.

Great photo. I came out of the Cheshire Cat last night at about 11 pm and noticed the moon did look funny and I guess I was out of the loop on this.

Cool superimposition. I managed to grab these shots last night, after remembering to run back inside a grab the tripod:

Awesome shots Rocketphish. We don't usually see the stars behind the moon because it is so brilliant.

it's exciting to see all the cranes in Ottawa's CBD but then you're swiftly reminded that none of those new towers are going to have a significant impact on the skyline

It's not great but I think 400 Albert will have a significant impact. At 5m taller than PDV-C and its position west of the current Lyon St wall it should be quite prominent from many angles!

Agreed. It's also a full roof 5m higher than PDV-C's mechanical hut, so it will look more like 10m higher.

Man that parking lot at Portage and Laurier irks me. Can we build something substantial there please?

(amazing photos as always, Harley number 2.)

Isn't that part of the Gatineau-side of Zibi? Pretty sure there are plans for it.

Ya, and they use it for events like Cirque du Soleil and such. Still an eyesore most of the year.

And, given our table top CBD, 10m is like a Toronto 80m

Skylines are overrated.
