We need a tower similar to Bell to go between enbridge and commerce from this view.

A tiny part of Montreal's downtown skyline, seen from Sherbrooke/Décarie through smog, on July 8, 2010

the tall building you see is Port-Royal, MTL's 20th tallest building... and tallest residential?

Time for an absolutely MEGA-Pano, Defaultuser brings us this 31 image beauty:



M-M-M-MEGA PANO!

Not much of battle... Everyone wins with the kickass results.

I still find it odd that we haven't crossed paths yet.

Nice shots as always Defaultuser.

Thanks Witty! You too.

Odd indeed, but one of these days it's bound to happen. And you're right, everyone wins with kickass pictures.

Man those are great shots of Calgary! So much room in the cetral area for furure growth, high-rises ect. Everyonetalks about East village, Rail town, but the west side even though it's an established neighborhood, could use a few 40+ story towers in the future.
