Great shot Leftcoaster, I never noticed those trees atop the Woodward Building before. One of my favorite towers in VanCity.

And none of those skylines are actually in Vancouver, it's Burnaby North & South, and Surrey in the background left center, with North Vancouver in foreground.

How did that random highrise get to be in that spot on Boundary road north area?

I like the randomness of highrises but this one has always intrigued me.

It's a retirement building, about 19 stories, from the 1970s; NIMBYs didn't used to mind having highrises as long as they were full of old people.

The gorgeous photo by Phil Marion in #848, of sunset over Lake Ontario, has been mislabelled. The skyline is of Humber Bay Shores, not Mississauga. But more importantly, thanks for posting those wonderful shots.

Thought you guys might like this pic I took of the Etobicoke skyline from the BMO Field (sorry about the rather low quality)
