A few Ottawa. The first is from a few years back, at the start of the West Block renovations. The second is from about a year ago.

Nice little skyline growing in Kelowna there. Would make for a really cool effect if the towers eventually started making their way up the hills in the back.

Don't think we will ever see towers on Knox Mountain, as there is plenty of much easier flat land to develop along Harvey Ave and further south along the lake.

Kelowna's skyline has grown up a lot since I lived there in the early 90s.

I'm enjoying Kelowna's entrance onto the Canadian skyline scene.

Ignore the people in the picture. Don't know them, but pic on Twitter. Awesome view of the west end of Ottawa from the to top floor of the Delta Hotel. Confederation Line can be seen in the empty field near the middle. February 2020.

Interesting Ottawa vantage points.

Looking towards the Escarpment District from the north-east corner of the Glebe. Traditional downtown and large parts of Centretown off screen to the right.

Yeah I especially like that first one, which gives a good perspective of the relationship between different buildings and areas... Ottawa is my native city but I don't know it as well as I would like to – thought the back of that building to the left of the embassy was the Museum of Nature for a moment, but I guess it is the Connaught Bldg. Have been back at various moments but will have to get a better sense next time.
