I still wish the majority of these suburb towers were concentrated in downtown Vancouver - what a skyline it would be.
They're all pretty bland towers though. I personally really like the multi-skyline look, seeing another big skyline while you're downtown really makes the city feel big. Kinda LA, but not in a bad way.
Burnaby's (future) skylines are competing with one another. One dominant Burnaby skyline surrounded by lesser skylines would add more to the sprawling Metropolis feel
I remember walking along that boardwalk in 2016 and almost being mesmerized. As an avid angler I can appreciate clear water. And when I'm walking around a marina or a basin with clear water, I just have to put on the polarized glasses and look down for some big fish. Can't recall if I saw any.
Same thing if I'm hanging out around Queen's Quay in TO or like when I stayed at the Delta in Kingston that juts out over the water.
That's a phenomenal shot along with the Vancouver one at the top.
This was after the TFC game tonight. Rested the cam on the edge of the stairwell and set it on night scene and 2 second delay but of course people were walking down the stairs so it was never perfectly still. The best I could do with what I was working with.
Other pic is from 2011. Great views when sitting on the west side of the stadium back then. Not possible now due to the adding of the second deck and overhang.
