Yesterday at the Vancouver forum meet we had a chance to go to the top of a couple of buildings downtown and both offered great vantage points for taking photos. Most of the following shots were taken during that tour:

Looking down at Cambie and Hastings, still a rougher part of town:

Major condo redevelopment at the former Woodward's department store, something that probably wouldn't have seemed likely a few years ago:

Great tour, thanks for posting the pics.

[jodelli]

I could say 'nice city', but what the hell do I know?

Never tire of pictures from here, thanks.

[LeftCoaster]

Great pics Someone... I'll post the ones I took this afternoon.

I really like the shot of Waterfront station with the blur effect.

[Burgh15]

I love the green roof on the convention center.

[10101000]

Wow!

[Evergrey]

niiiice

[4orty4th]

awesome. I love the blurred "model" effect. Photoshop or in camera?

[Trojan in NYC]

Nice photos!

[mhays]

I'm quite taken with the blur thing too. Makes it look like it's all miniature.

[Brandon716]

Nice work!

[jcchii]

yeah, some of those do look like little models

[treras93]

Nice!:worship:

[oldmanshirt]

Some of those blurry ones actually made me think of a more urban Mr. Rogers' neighborhood

[Urban Zombie®]

Great views, excellent shots.

[harls]

Excellent pics. I was there almost two years ago, and so much has changed already.

[MolsonExport]

God, I miss Vancouver (lived in Van 1994-1998).

[Dylan Leblanc]

great pics dude! nice to see them after watching you with the camera all day :)

[Andy6]

Very nice tour from on high. I'll have to visit Vancouver someday. Like the blur effect (unless it is some sort of byproduct of drunkenness).

[danby]

i had thought Living Shangri-La was complete? why is there still a crane on it??

also on sun tower is that a monster truck on the roof?

[Top Of The Park]

right up there with the best the world has to offer
