this is a photo thread, i was not trying to make a political statement. i did spend some time there and agree with some of what i heard, but this was not the point of my post.

hope you liked the pictures anyway.

Doesn't this belong in the Politics section?

Edit. Already discussed.

Thanks! I took some more yesterday and I'm probably going back today as I was in a bit of rush yesterday. So many good photo ops:

All photos by me.

sweet shot of the lion's gate. i took a very similar photo on the golden gate 6 years ago, it's been a favourite of mine too.

ckkelley · #**1888** Posted **Oct 26, 2011, 2:22 AM**

Thanks, yeah I was viewing some old pictures from about ten years ago. It's a kick to come across some old favorites!

Nice stuff!
I took this last Sunday from near Olympic Village:

Nice autumn photos! The weather was beautiful this past weekend.

Nothing you guys haven't seen before, but, I was testing out my new Fuji X100

It has amazing dynamic range for a small camera, and extremely saturated colours. Of course, having no zoom and being forced to shoot at a 35mm equivalent can be troublesome if you're used to zoom cameras, but some times a challenge is nice

I posted these on the Canadian skyline section but it seems that if your photo or post is not about Toronto (or a lesser degree Montreal and Calgary) it will be ignored, haha, so here they are:

Here is a suburban splash from the rarely seen Brentwood and Holdom skylines (which will likely in the future becoming one) of Burnaby.

Again this is how much Burnaby amazes me as a suburb is it doesn't have just the Metrotown skyline, but these two as well (and actually the Lougheed one too)

The Brentwood skyline is a hard one to find vantage points clear of trees and powerlines with good lighting, but I think I may have done just that. You can see the M-line skytrain line snaking through it if you look hard enough. Two more towers are currently u/c in Brentwood and you can see one of the cranes slightly in these pictures amongst the towers.

And here is a single pick of the Holdom skyline one skytrain station further east than the Brentwood Skyline (hence soon to be one)

Now it is time for these pics to become lost in a sea of Toronto, Calgary and Montreal pics. I hoped you guys at least enjoyed the momentary change of view

Interesting pictures, Metro! Would it be possible to get some shots of the Lougheed Town Centre? It looks spectacular when approaching from the west on Highway 1 through the wooded Central Burnaby valley park, and "baf" the buildings suddenly appear!!

Have they added any in recent years, or has it remained more or less as it was five years ago? Love to see it, if & when you have time. Thanks.

vanman · #**1894** Posted **Nov 1, 2011, 3:07 AM**

^The only towers that've been built in ages around the Lougheed area are these two called Silhouette:

High Rise Towers by ikan1711, on Flickr

This is the best pic I could find. They are actually really prominent being the tallest buildings in the area (I think the tallest building is 38 stories). At night those glass lanterns light up for a subtle but classy effect.

Awesome pics btw Metro! I eventually want to do a compilation of all of Vancouver's many suburban skylines and post an epic thread. I think even Toronto forumers would be shocked by the amount of density we have outside the CBD.

trofirhen · #**1895** Posted **Nov 1, 2011, 4:45 AM**

So there's a tower at Lougheed 38 floors tall? Whew!! I'd like to say that I think your idea of a suburban skyline thread is great! Please, please go for it.
BTW, thanks for the above picture.

Metro-One · #**1896** Posted **Nov 1, 2011, 8:02 AM**

Thanks for the comments guys!

Actually that has been my plan for a long time to do a super Metro-Vancouver skyline photo thread.

Lougheed is one on my list I still need to do, as is New West (done a few but need some good density shots) and West Van.

Metrotown is done to death, I finally feel I have done Brentwood justice, have a few of Coquitlam.

SpongeG · #**1897** Posted **Nov 1, 2011, 9:45 PM**

cool pics

there were also two towers built on the coquitlam side in the last 5 years but they aren't that tall maybe 12-15 storeys - but they are on high enough ground that they add to the skyline coming from the east or south

there are plans for more on the coquitlam side i expect to see them go up soon this area is changing rapidly with expectation of evergreen line - already numerous houses have been demolished with denser townhouses and low rise condos taking their place - the area around burquitlam plaza especially is seeing a whole bunch of projects on the go right now

LeftCoaster · #**1898** Posted **Nov 1, 2011, 9:50 PM**

Yeah the E line will really spur a lot of development in the area.

Metro-One · #**1899** Posted **Nov 2, 2011, 6:20 AM**

Hello

I dodged my responsibilities today to snap these pics. I tried to get a New West skyline shot, but even on the Queensburough bridge it doesn't work out. One set of trees in the mid ground finally get out of the way just for another set in the foreground to get in the way, haha. At least I got some decent walking in.

Anyways here is what i got of New West. I will post them in the Canada section as well where I am sure they will get buried quickly by endless Toronto posts.

Anyways, here they are, New West, the most under represented urban area in Canada (and one of the most interesting IMO):

All pics are my own, cheers!

I made a thread called "suburban downtowns" on skyscrapercity canada a long time ago, with a bunch of pictures, so I already know how it'll go down...
