I'm not sure what you mean. What is a tourist picture bar? Do you mean the +15 skywalk between The Bow and Telus Place?

You have to have a very liberal definition of "urban canyon" to include the bottom two shots of Toronto above.

Calgary's downtown reminds me a LOT of Houston's.

Only thing is that it might be questionable if one can actually see the Rockies looking down 5th Avenue SE from a vantage point just east of the TELUS Tower - my suspicions is all you're going to see is Broadcast Hill (Patterson Heights). I could be wrong though.

I specified mid-rise. They're pretty cool to see as well in my opinion - especially if it's fairly uniform like the Frederick St one.

Construction continues on Ottawa's 300 foot Rideau Street canyon of monotony.
