Edmonton has a nice setting for a skyline; on top of a high river bank. It gives everything added verticality. That bridge has done wonders for that vantage point too.

Agreed. That might just be one of the most dramatic skyline shots of Edmonton that I've ever seen.

Hazy pics of Toronto and Hamilton taken with phone from dirty plane window

Toronto




Hamilton, unfortunately now the plane getting into clouds a bit. I've never been able to get decent photos of Hamilton from a plane, it's always night or cloudy.

Right it's ego and not you just being overly sensitive because the criticism is on something in Mississauga by a forumer with Toronto in his location. An athletic park in my neighbourhood would have a soccer pitch, diamonds, a rink, a pool, a dog park (later addition) and, a bigger playground in a smaller area. This probably isn't Toronto vs Mississauga as you like to have things. It's time and place. My neighbourhood is much older and that is what has peaked my interests.
