Some other Kelowna shot, such a beautiful city. Mountains, desert, warmth.

I just search for other cities to try to add some diversity here, plus I've lived in Kelowna and a number of others.

Kelowna looks good with the new tower, the 3 towers of the Grand looked kinda tacky with the red clay tile roofs. I will be in that city in 1 week! I wonder if there is any ice on the lake, this has been a pretty cold winter for them so far.

Yeah they just finished their new tallest last year too. It isn't in the traditional lakefront skyline though. Their financial district is more in the centre of the city near Orchard Park Mall, the "CBD" consists of several buildings known collectively as the Landmark Centre. Their new tallest is quite nice. An 84 meter tower known as Landmark VI.

Probably, but don't have it.

Sure is! It has a much larger floorplate, so it looks like it would be shorter though it isn't . Also, that image is slightly stretched horizontally.

I'd say Kelowna IS a resort city, at least during the summer.

That complex of low rise buildings in that pics is actually a Delta Resort. It's very nice, and has a casino and year round residents, it also includes a private harbour.

Kelowna & Kamloops: I've heard they're both pretty nice! Seen photos, that's about it.
