Edmonton with the Stantec tower looks really good in every shot now. Crazy the difference one tower makes.

Downtown Ottawa from above the location of the future tallest (65 floors, with a 56 and 23 attached). We're not sure if they are preparing for a groundbreaking or starting construction on the new pedestrian bridge that will eventually connect the new complex with Bayview station Trillium Line.

Downtown. This view will change significantly over the next 5 years (five new residential towers, 2x27, 35, 29, 23 on two city blocks across from the white hotel (Delta Hotel) and all glass office tower (Constitution Square I)).

LeBreton and the Escarpment District. The Central Library will site between the two, on the angle vacant lot.

All of these were taken by Ottawa forumer Harley over the last year and a bit.

^ Great pics J.OT13...Kudos..I would still like to get a shot from Billings looking down Bank street.One day perhaps. Ottawa's, stumpy skyline is hard to capture from the ON side, but you managed to gather a few good ones!..

Yes, yesh... You can really see Vancouver House and the Burrard building (Imma lose my BC residency for not remembering its name) popping up there.

Last year Halloween night was super foggy in Vancity. I'm hoping that it will be the same again because it was just so perfectly suiting for Halloween.

I don't understand how Ottawa is building such tall towers all of a sudden.

There was always a height limit so that no building could be taller than the Peace Tower. Have they gotten away or loosed that recently?

Chadillaccc · #**15113** Posted **Oct 10, 2020, 6:26 PM**

The height limit was only ever for the downtown area, as to not block the Peace Tower.

That's the gist of it. Based on protected view-planes in the traditional downtown. It's like over the last 10 years, Council and developers realized that the view-planes don't effect the rest of the city.

Interesting angles from July 2017.

^ More real nice and unique Ottawa shots..Sometimes, I underestimate how eclectic Ottawa's skyline really is when it's all put together..Both Edmonton and Winnipeg have that variety in their respective skylines as well. Obviously Montreal in spades!

Maestria (and 1 Square Philips) won't make it into this POV

Surprised to see so much colour out of Alberta. Usually it's just yellows. Is the picture just saturated to the gills? Kind of looks like it.

I believe you are right about that, nice photos though.
