As far as grand urban parks in North America go, there's Central Park, Chapultepec and then the rest. While we definitely have some great urban parks in this country, we don't do grandeur terribly well.

Edmonton skyline dwarfs every other canadian city & man, if you’re gonna kill my iPad, make it memorable - those are some run of the mill shots of the city, hardly worthy posting.

Another relatively new member being obnoxious about someone else's contribution. What is absolutely not worth posting is a post like this. Get out and take some photos of your own, or show some appreciation for others. Lose the chip and apologize.
