That shot that MonkeyRonin posted, you can see how bright Dundas Square is. It lights up all the buildings in nearby vicinity into bright white. Now one can assume that when Aura is built that shot will lose some of it's impressiveness as that light is then blocked by the condo tower when viewed from this direction. Still very Shinjukuesque shot.

My favorite picture of Toronto hasn't been taken yet and likely won't be taken for at least another 40 years. This will be my favorite Toronto picture, this shot will be hardcore for sure.
Until then, please post the picture that you dislike the least out of the Toronto pictures currently in existence.

I hate pictures taken from Leslie Spit or Polsen Pier.

Makes the skyline look sparse.

My favorite shots are taken from the Summerhill area. I just can't seem to find my favorite.

Quebec city is bad ass. The smallest city in Canada with a wicked pre-war skyline and a pretty decent postwar one as well. Sick city.

That Toronto one is pretty amazing as well, love that Casa Loma is in the shot, really adds a big something to the picture I think.

Awesome pics, all. I am LOVING this thread. I wish they'd use these pics when they play our national anthem on television, in addition to the usual:

Random Lighthouse
Quebec
Ontario
Random Field
First Nations art in BC
