not a fan of this angle... the skyline looks very small.. the extraordinary height of Stantec by comparison to the surrounding buildings only exacerbates that. I've seen much better shots of Edmonton.

Except that most shots from here span 82-124st and really show the length of our skyline... which is quite impressive.

Those are the best shots of the skyline.. it looks huge!... this one i find very disappointing when compared to what else we've seen here. Nevertheless, interesting to see different perspectives, even if they're not as flattering.

Has anyone taken any photos from Magrath Heights Park, Edmonton's tallest point? In winter, when the trees are bare, you might be able to see the skyline from there.

I have and recall it being difficult to get a good shot to be honest.

Can't recall if I ever shared them though.

Yah even though the trees are sans leaf, it is still tough to get a clean shot.

Same here.

This looks like Walterdale with a sawmill in the foreground. Likely before WW1 or so, because the Hotel Macdonald wasn't even up yet at the time this photo was taken.
