Nice pics. Good to have some more recent aerials. Gives a good perspective of the density of our DT core. I still wonder how any taller towers would mix in with the current stuff. Everything is just so level and built on a grade perspective. Who knows?....
Ever notice how the new part of Wellington does not line up with the old one? It kind of bothers me but I think its because of a certain protected view axis that is centred on the Peace tower. It sort of explains why the Claridge condo building is behind it and the rest of it is supposed to remain flat, the War Museum fin being a deliberate exception.
But doesn't the National Archives Building block the Peace Tower from that direction?

Someone needs to take a pic from the appropriate angle.

Well don't look at me for that, I only have a crappy disposable ATM.
Hopefully I'll get a decent digital one for Christmas!

Here's an aerial I took last July on my way to Europe. We departed runway 32 at YOW and turned northeast over Gatineau to intercept our course, resulting in a very decent view of the city.
Sorry for the watermark but you only need to be robbed once ...
