Here is another pan shot I took from Mt. Tolmie at a zoom. I slightly screwed up the last frame but it's pretty close....

That's pretty cool!!! It's too bad we couldn't get up there in the morning have have the sun behind us. You also need to get a camera with a good zoom, Zoomer! Most of my photos from up there were too dark I wish I had a bit more time up there.

I had a lot of fun that night, it had been a while since I had done some roof top stuff. Always a good time. Anyways, I'll call you later in the week!!! Have a good weekend buddy!

I see they have the staples logo on top of Rohanni, that doesn't look very good, I liked the Scotia logo better.

I know I laugh every time I see that logo. I like seeing banks logos on tall office buildings, or if Victoria had more of them I guess seeing staples wouldn't be so bad but it's kinda crazy.....

Hey one last one, I was out late tonight...gotta get up early tomorrow, At least I rested most of the day today!!!!

The full harbor shot for you guys.... Again Aastra maybe you could clean it up a hair hey!

Nice. Except that yacht is breaking the height limit.

Now that's funny...I was looking at how high that was when I downloaded the photos!

Aastra thanks for blending that together!!! I appreciate it. I am trying to keep a really good record of my favorite skyline shots, and your work on the last two have been very helpful and appreciated. I am really more and more enjoying taking photos. I don't have a lot of time for it but I find it a bit of a stress relief and just plane fun!!! I'm like a kid with a new toy lately even though I've had my camera for a while now.

Cheers.

I'll see if I can take a few more this Sunday maybe....Zoome. You wanna come out? or anyone else?
