Here's a nice, though now somewhat dated, photo of Halifax that I don't think has yet appeared in this thread:

I'd like to see a new, larger aerial photo stitched together from this perspective.

If any of you are on skyscrapercity forums then you would have already seen this probably. But anyway...

Wicked shot. What's that on the little island off the coast?

I have many different skyline perspectives on Kitchener yesterday, but here's a shot of downtown, looking south from the 7th floor of the new U of Waterloo Pharmacy campus.

Looks big from here, but I think part of it has to do with not being able to see the ground, so it feels like you're higher up in the air than you really are.

That skyline shot of Halifax is amazing, I did not realize so many sizable structures existed away from the waterfront.

Also nice pics of Kelowna and Regina/Saskatoon.

George's Island. McNab's and Devil's are further south.

I'm not sure if I posted these before in this thread but the first one shows most of the high-rises in Halifax around the Commons and the second and third ones are photos of Peninsular Halifax from a tower in the 'burbs (both photos by me);

And don't take this as a negative spin on the whole area, just in the aspect of urban density.

Honestly...my take as to why Kitcheners skyline is so damn dull is cause K-W doesn't know where to focus it's development so they split it between both Kitch. or Waterloo...

They need one more cool lookin highrise

And well since I have one heres the Downtown Halifax Skyline at Sunset (Purdy's to Westin):

I know urban sprawl isn't for everyone but I find it in Halifax to be so damn picturesque for some reason. I think it's how it intertwines with the geography and landscape that adds to it which is also why I feel Halifax's population should be larger. If it were just flat as hell like areas in the GTA, it wouldn't be so pretty lol

Academy Heights/Lakehead University and College Heights, neighbourhoods of Port Arthur, also have skylines (2 or more tall buildings near each other) but there are no real vantage points for them so I don't have any pictures.

Kenora, 15,000:

Just ONE tall building that stands out, to be built in T-Bay would be all I'd ask for. Hell even a government building but at least something new! The white sucker in the in Fort William (I think) is pretty cool and I like how Kenora is lined up on the water

Has anyone seen Brantford on here lately? Or was the last time simply when you watched Silent Hill
