Very nice Calgary pic. I'm increasingly of the opinion that Calgary will be seen internationally as a city on equal footing with cities like Vancouver, Brisbane, Denver, etc. in the not too distant future. It's practically there already imo.

^ Gorgeous Toronto picture

And yes, once Brookfield Place (810ft) and Telus Sky (725ft) are completed by 2018 Calgary will be in the big leagues for it's skyline that's for sure. The two towers will be the city's first and third largest buildings and will totally change the skyline of the city. I'm excited to see it all done actually.

It's not just the skyline that's heading to the big leagues. Calgary's sway economically and politically is on a rapid uptick. Mid-century, Calgary is going be quite a heavy hitter on this continent.

^The skyline is starting to look more like Hongkers and less like Toronto.

Thanks, took it from the plane last week. I'd say in the business community, it already is seen that way. In other ways, we have a long way to go, but it isn't unattainable in the mid term

I took a picture from the same spot in 2002. Lots of change since then!

My god! Looks more like 30 years difference, not 12.

Wow... but that shot though...
Love the urbanity of Toronto and the dense core.

Taken with a cell phone from the observation deck of the CIBC (long closed to the public)...it pays to know the owners of the building

Clouds were nice a few nights ago. The remnants of the hail storm that decimated Airdrie.
