Thanks! I don't know what Mountain it is, but it's well in to the descent in to Vancouver.

Shangri-la needs like... some spotlights or something so it doesn't blend in to the mountains / trees of Stanley Park!

Those are some great pics, Yume-sama. I too love seeing the city from new and different high-up vantage points. Thanks for sharing. Your timing is perfect weather-wise. Supposed to be another beautiful week.

Robson should retain its current height limits. On days like these the sunshine draws in a huge crowd...eye candy for all

It will appear close to the same height due to the angle the picture is taken at but as Hed pointed out it will be quite a bit lower in absolute terms.

Naw, height limits along Robson are great, that street needs to be open and sunny.
