Thanks for sharing these views Thomax. I'll be visiting that conservation area in fall, so I'll be glad to see this view.


Great Montreal set Rico! The new pier looks great.

Well I've been thinking about going back to Montreal this summer or fall but I think Rico's pics have sealed the deal for me.

Drove to Montreal Casino the other day, skyline views on the way back were amaaaaazing. Even as someone who follows the progress of construction quite closely and lives near downtown, I was taken aback by the impact of new towers. The city is transforming itself at an accelerate pace the past 2-3 years.

At Zibi? Still no, unfortunately. With two more residential buildings nearing completion, hopefully we'll start seeing some movement.

Montreal is close to what I want Hamilton to be when it "grows up"

Nice pics Martin, but all the towers are the same height, I can't tell one from the other! In fact, it looks just like Ottawa!
