Thee one and hopefully only. It also can take the cake for being one of the widest slabs in Alberta.

Great pano though!! Hawt! Nice pics!

That building alone caused big changes in design guidelines and spurred the creation of an urban design panel based on Vancouver's (which was brought about by Brent Toderian - Vancouver's Urban Planner - when he was still working in Calgary as the head of the Centre City Committee). It will not happen in the future.

/\ Sounds like the True North epic in Edmonton and creation of the Edmonton Design Committee.

I'm kinda surprised how the pano is so popular... it isn't even my own favourite outta the bunch.

^The pano is simply cool. No other way to describe it. also it a vantage point that hasn't been seen before.

Great work Boris!
