honestly, totally agree! Edmonton looking great here! although that tower dwarfs everything else, it makes it looks like a big city! way to go... I think there might be some competition here with Calgary.

In fairness, though, that view hasn't changed since then. None of those skyscrapers have been destroyed over the past two years. You could go to the exact same spot and take the same picture tonight.

Telus Sky would be highly visible behind Suncor today.

I don't care though, it's a great pic.

Sorry, I meant that the skyline of Calgary hasn't *diminished" since 2017.

The Sun Life building in the middle of that one shot brings back memories of four months ago. I interviewed for a nice job and made it to the third round of interviews but it wasn't meant to be.

Reception is up on the top facing the water. Great view. The job I didn't get was located two floors below and also facing the lake. And only 5 minutes walk from Union.

Dammit!
