Our population loss has already stabilized and is slowly growing once again, so things here are actually looking pretty good for Windsor. Our skyline will hopefully grow soon as well, as soon as our unemployment rate comes down to more manageable levels.

1. It's got a large behind.
2. Everything looks 'fatter' from the airport.

DT is in a deep valley. Makes everything look bad.

Our skyline looks like Edmontons from that angle

No big ass plane, just a quick snap before I headed back to Vancouver and the worse weather that awaited me:

That picture makes Toronto look like a machine. Just finding out whats wrong and rebuilding and regenerating itself with an army of mechanized and robotic cranes.

Hope this style is achieved in more U.S. cities, like Miami for instance.

As dense as that Toronto shot looks ... there's still many parcels of land in that area that are being developed, or can / should be ... i.e.; The picture is a bit deceptive, or the other take is; Imagine how much more dense it will be in 20 years or so.

The bow is a little chunky from that angle, but get a look at it from all other angles
