Good shots, good zoom lens!
Do you know it is a 1 km drive from the entrance of the parkade to the 9th level and back down to the exit?

Thanks Jimby, the 300mm end of the zoom really comes in handy sometimes.

Haha. I did not know that, but it sure feels likes a kilometer. My tires tend to squeal around the corners on the way down.. fun stuff.

Someone has been doing donuts up there - not me!

Me neither! Even if I owned a motorcycle I'm pretty sure that would be the last place I'd be doing stunts. One false move and you and/or the bike is into the railing (or worse.) It'd make for some cool shots, though.

It used to be the Northland Bank building, now I think it just goes by its address - 520 5 ave.

Thanks Jimby! Those two buildings seem to be built unusually close to each other.
