I think it is because you are looking at the skyline from the south east, so you are seeing the skyline as it stretches northward. You are way off centre (east) in this image. I believe the skyline really does stretch much greater to the west of downtown. I guess it is just a perspective thing allowing you to visualize the complete length of the skyline - but i should let a Torontonian chime in to correct me.....
