Wow, so many pics here that I like. I love those night shots (I just love cities at night and looking at the lights.)

Great shots everyone. I have gotta buy me a camera one of these days.

I've said that many times! How often do you see post cards of Halifax featuring either the downtown skyline, or the Purdy's buildings up close. Nearly always!

Once King's Wharf (several highrises including a 32 storey tower) and one other high rise development (17 and 24 storeys) are complete then the Dartmouth Skyline will be much more impressive. It will take about 5 years to complete (the second one hasn't been approved yet).

Thanks for posting the pictures. I like the BMO building however it sounds like it might change radically in the future. This picture will become a solid image of glass (I am not complaining, but in this case maintaining a bit of concrete might actually be good).

It will be a bit sad. I remember my Dad taking me across on the ferry at night to see several Voyagers games and how impressive that BoM tower was to me as a 10 year old. I can still picture the old blue "M" logo shimmering in the water.

and i have to agree about BMO. at first the thought that changing BMO would be a good thing but the more i look at it the more i seem to change my mind. and since the other two towers are going to be glass, why not leave it.

I agree, BMO has a good exterior cladding, it adds to the mix of glass that eventually will fill the skyline! TD, RBC, IP

I've always wondered about the little chunk of old brick wall that's part of the building on the right of the third picture. Anybody know what that was originally? Some kind of hospital building? Old Victoria General?

There have been major medical and related buildings in this area for a long time - since the mid-1800s or so.

Could be part of the old civic hospital which stood right about there. I was treated there for a couple of things when I was young. It was torn down in the eighties, I think.

Nice shots. The red bricl bldg in the third shot:
Centre for Clinical Research
5790 University Avenue

The Centre for Clinical Research (CCR) is located on University Avenue, adjacent to the Mackenzie Building of the QEII Health Sciences Centre. The CCR is a program of the QEII Health Sciences Centre - one of Canada's leading teaching hospitals, located in the heart of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The QEII has a strong commitment to health research in all disciplines.

The Centre for Clinical Research administers, facilitates and coordinates all research which is carried out at the QEII.

The front of the bldg might have been upadated, since it resembles the MacKenzie bldg.

The old civic hospital was on the site of the present IWK parking garage (where the pictures were taken, great spot for photos).

It's unfortunate how almost all of these Victorian institutional buildings were torn down in Halifax.

A few other cities in Canada have reused them and they look pretty good. There are also some slightly horrifying old hospitals but MaRS in Toronto for example reused an old building as part of a research facility.

It unfortunately is in desperate need of work inside! I have been to many meetings of the medical research ethics board there, and it is horrible. you freeze in the winter and sweat in the summer.

It is also bloody confusing that you have the Centre for Clinical Research on one side of the street (part of QEII) and the Clinical Research Centre on the other (part of Dal). Although actually I hope that the CRC stays even after the renos that they have planned on Campus.

I think this looks great. I seriously can't understand why the heritage people don't like (somewhat) tall buildings. They must goes nuts when they visit Toronto.

This is the new Halifax, a mix of old and new, whether the heritage people like it or not. I think Halifax has a good mix.

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.

Awesome shot worldly! Where exactly was it taken?

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

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.

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!!!! :rolleyes:

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 :)
