Very nice

And the Twisted Sisters would, if built, hide most if not all of the eventual new Barrington/Sackville building. Oui? The Row Building should be visible, hopefully.

The Discovery Centre would likely be blocked - the Roy building would be below what would be the Nova Centre, you are correct.

I hope the final Gladstone building (where the crane is) pokes out over those trees!

Trillium making a big impact, can't imagine what The Alexander, Nova Centre, and International Place would add! All the naysayers like the skyline after the fact!

Awesome shot worldly! Where exactly was it taken?

That has to be one of the best ones ive seen, you should post that in the Canada section
fantastic shot.

Amazing how much cleaner the water in the harbour is too. The rocks aren't stained black and you can even see the bottom.

Not my picture (see flickr post). I'd say somewhere north of downtown Dartmouth.

Nouvellecosse · #91 Posted **Jun 21, 2011, 9:39 PM**

Yeah, nice shot!

It's funny; it looks like a mini Sears/Willis tower to the right of Maritime Centre. I think it's a church spire covered by scaffolding or something.

Its the shadow from Maritime Centre on St. Mary's Basilica.

Took this a few days ago. Although overcast, still a sunny afternoon in Halifax. Excuse the poor quality of the photo. Forgot my camera, so used my cell.

Grabbed a few of Bedford today. I'm going to return to this spot on a sunnier day:

Nice panoramas. Bedford is starting to show some population density.

Dmajackson · #97 Posted **Jul 3, 2011, 5:42 AM**

Some from the last two days (all by me);

Great photos.

The proposal for a 16-22 storey tower on Spring Garden near Robie will fill a gap in the skyline from this angle.

Only downside is it won't be much taller than the neighbours. It would be great if a few 35-40 storey residential buildings were built around town. They'd really stand out.

Yes, but it would cause the world to spin off its axis, so we couldn't have that. They'd be TOO TALL!!!!

Good point, it would be like adding a bump on a spinning wheel that would put it out of balance. It might cause all kinds of cataclysmic events to occur on earth
