Prince Street in Halifax. The gap on the left near the top of the street is where the Nova Centre development is going in, so this scene will be a little different in a year or two.

Too bad that angle doesn't let us see the facades of that nice row on the left hand side!

The green park is the Citadel's grounds, I assume? (A few clicks on Google Map would answer that question, but I'd rather ask )

Yes it is!

I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed or more impressed by that.
It's just lights, we already have a rotating beacon downtown. It can be seen 50km away, so it's the light of Metro Montréal.

I really like this one of Calgary's Glenmore Reservoir, fed by the Elbow River.

^Nice, Boris!

Here's Lujiazui's skyline from a familiar angle. The light was great that day.

I used a Canon XTi (400D) from 2007-2013 and just picked up a Canon 70D a week ago. Still using my Tamron 18-200mm as a general purpose lens.

Looks great! What's the dominant cultural way of dealing with dead bodies there? Just asking because I thought the Puxi shot was a graveyard for a minute.
