Never seen an angle that makes downtown look like it's almost right on the water before, cool shot!

Amazing shots of Edmonton indeed. Attractive skyline, picturesque setting and beautiful light.

Here's some pics taken today during crazy weather in Montreal:

This is the first time I've ever seen this angle used in a photo. Why is that? It's easily the best vantage point of downtown Edmonton I've ever seen.

^ It's shot from a high floor of one of the Saskatchewan Drive condo towers. If you don't live there or know someone who does you cannot get that angle.

Sheesh, that Toronto shot. There are some really great shots of Winnipeg and Edmonton in here, some unique angles too. You kind of get that proud feeling seeing your and other not so highly represented skylines on here looking amazing (an rightfully so) and then that Toronto shot - BAM. Kind of feels like being put in your place.

.......either way, good shots by all.
