The big one on the upper left is the Don Valley and we do call them valleys in the east. The small ones are ravines. The network of ravines throughout Toronto are the city's best topographical feature and hidden gems. Unfortunately few Torontonians make use of them.

These kids do it to show off/get publicity so we're complicit when we post them on these sites. I wish SSP and others would ban them.
Yea, it's rather ridiculous to see chumps do this for "the experience" or whatever adrenaline high they claim to have.

Cool shot of Brookfield Place. They really got screwed on the timing of if though. Can't imagine how badly it's hurting their bottom line.

It was taken on Monday night, March 5th, a day before a convention event was taking place. There is still construction taking place in this area, and the luxury hotel tower to the far left hasn't been finalized yet.

Edmonton looks great in that shot.


This looks to be taken somewhere near Niagara on the Lake.
