These are from this morning, where fellow forumer polishavenger got us up onto some rooftops. I needed some shots for work and decided to deviate a bit...

That panorama is stunning!

Fine job as always, Boris.

Great shot Boris.

Great photos...I really like that second shot - down 12th, correct??

I am sure that BigTime will appreciate the Snowbird Pictures!

Great shots!

Thee one and hopefully only. It also can take the cake for being one of the widest slabs in Alberta.

Great pano though!! Hawt! Nice pics!

That building alone caused big changes in design guidelines and spurred the creation of an urban design panel based on Vancouver's (which was brought about by Brent Toderian - Vancouver's Urban Planner - when he was still working in Calgary as the head of the Centre City Committee). It will not happen in the future.

/\ Sounds like the True North epic in Edmonton and creation of the Edmonton Design Committee.

Hey Coldrx, what the heck are they callin' that Klondike Days now these days anyway? CapX or something like that...I'm not sure.? That should help.

gatt · #18 Posted: **Jul 11, 2007, 3:14 AM**

beautiful!i like the first one the most.

Boris2k7 · #19 Posted: **Jul 11, 2007, 3:17 AM**

I'm kinda surprised how the pano is so popular... it isn't even my own favourite outta the bunch.

Just Build It · #20 Posted: **Jul 11, 2007, 5:03 AM**

^The pano is simply cool. No other way to describe it. also it a vantage point that hasn't been seen before.

Great work Boris!
