Great angle of east Vancouver. Nice old school density there

Edit: oh, and awesome Montreal density too!

Hahaha. Nicely played.

Really cool pic though, the effect of the zoom really makes the towers loom over the pier.

I think mcminsen's pic is closer to what the eye sees than most cameras. I hate when I take a photo with my phone and it looks 20 miles away with no details, e.g.

Vancouver, from North Vancouver by chrisjohann, on Flickr

Downtown looks great IRL from my place on 3rd street but I don't even try to take pics 'cause it appears too far away.

This is a great panoramic shot. Scroll>>>>

The Edmonton LRT cars really don't look like they're supposed to form a train.

Great pics though everyone.

When is the UofA skyline going to change? Or, perhaps more loosely, why isn't UofA part of the general Edmonton skyline boom? Or, again, why is UofA not exploding in the manner of UBC. As a secondary skyline and a counterpoint to the long span of downtown, even a single point tower would be pretty dramatic.

The UofA controls much of that land and wants it for academics (er I mean Medicine and Engineering). There has been a lot of infill, lots of new student townhouse/low-rise housing and new buildings south of there. You can see the new Peter Lougheed Leadership Centre 4 storey front middle.

As for more towers behind, the community of Garneau is perhaps the most challenging to develop in.
