Great stuff Jimby!

Thanks guys! The camera froze after I took those 2 pics, so that's all I have to show for setting up the tripod. The battery was still ok though, it is usually the first thing to freeze.

But none of those cities ended up with one, nor are there even any plans for one in the future...

*sigh* dreaming is all we got

True enough . . . but It's not going to stop me from dreaming about it (in all cases).

I have to say that Shangra La really changes the dynamic of Vancouver's skyline. In a good way. I would have to say the most skyline altering building built in Canada in a long while. Great for Vancouver....Too bad about the Ritz though.

Those are some great panos, Regulator! Calgary's skyline sure is getting dense.

sammo · #**1095** Posted **Mar 12, 2009, 9:08 PM**

Calgary's downtown is getting beefy but i think that the water tower thingy looks..... hokey, small-time, bucolic...

maybe it's just the red colour that says "farm ahead".

Grabbed a quick shot of downtown from the other side of False Creek. You'll have to excuse the poor quality but it was taken through the window of a U/C building so it was really dusty.

Thanks Wild Wild West!

Are you referring to the Calgary Tower?
