Great shots!! Saskatoon really looks nice from those pics.

Here's a shot of Kitchener showing the 2 Hospitals, AirBoss, and some of Waterloo in the background.

Also, another mixed use tower (100 Victoria) is slated for Downtown 15-18 floors. Construction to start next year.

Is that the Aurora over the city!? Or just lighting from something else?
As you can see on this picture, it's clearly the new lighting scheme of Complexe Desjardins. Looks like Montreal will have artificial aurora borealis in it's sky for a long time. So cool.

Prince Street in Halifax. The gap on the left near the top of the street is where the Nova Centre development is going in, so this scene will be a little different in a year or two.

I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed or more impressed by that.

Too bad that angle doesn't let us see the facades of that nice row on the left hand side!

The green park is the Citadel's grounds, I assume? (A few clicks on Google Map would answer that question, but I'd rather ask )

It's just lights, we already have a rotating beacon downtown. It can be seen 50km away, so it's the light of Metro Montréal.

I really like this one of Calgary's Glenmore Reservoir, fed by the Elbow River.

Hospitals by Matt M S, on Flickr

An example of Kitchener's "hidden treasures" - The plant used by AirBoss is the former Dominion Tire Company (later Uniroyal) . The original factory, which will be 100 years old next month, was designed by Albert Kahn (as was the Kaufman Rubber Co., now Kaufman Lofts). Although subsequently expanded, the original Dominion factory is still visible. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a decent photo to post.

^Nice, Boris!

Here's Lujiazui's skyline from a familiar angle. The light was great that day.

Looks great! What's the dominant cultural way of dealing with dead bodies there? Just asking because I thought the Puxi shot was a graveyard for a minute.
