^ Taken on May 8th based on the info provided on the link. St.John's is probably looking like this now (in terms of foliage, not streetscape or skyline, obviously).

That makes sense - still a week or two behind normal.

3. This photo doesn't even include all of the recent towers built on the westside of the Beltline (including the Royal, from where I presume this photo was taken).

That might be the best density shot of Calagary I've seen. It looks like a really big city here. Way more then the core to a million plus city.

Two simple shots of Richmond Row and area

Anyone like the light features on London's new Azure? I think it looks great and the colors change sometimes. It looks great at night, I just wish they changed more often though.

Great skyline shot of towers near Ottawa's Rideau River (Sandy Hill and Vanier) just east of Downtown.

Ottawa skyline from the Island Park Towers, near Westboro Station, looking east towards Tunney's Pasture and Downtown.

It is, thanks man With five or so towers going up per year, things are getting pretty crazy. Already the densest neighbourhood on the prairies (not saying too much) and growing by 1200-ish per year, we could have a seriously dense urban node within the next few years. The first vestiges are starting to appear around the neighbourhood. The growth between 2017/2018 was nearly 1700.




Anywho, here's another few of my own...

Now that is the riverbank treatment Edmonton seriously needs! Cafe (Simmons Building), terraced seating down to the water and all!

Riverwalk was really well done, and there are plans to extend it around behind the stampede grounds to Lindsay Park too. Calgary has done quite well with public spaces recently, happy to see this place grow up!

Lots of rain coming in the next week, the bottom stairs there will be under water soon.

Havent seen London on here in a while, and with 5 (i think) new buildings approved the skyline will get better in the next few years.

Commissioners & Wharncliffe area offers a nice view of the city, looks alot more spread out

Thanks for the London pics. London's skyline is actually fairly large and with so many building under construction and proposed it will only get better.
