Theodore the anthropomorphized tugboat at Halifax harbour actually moves. I thought it was a static display. Who knew?!

​​​ Calgary skyline with the Sadledome in the foreground...why Tin, why? There must be more interesting prospects that that. Second photo is not bad, would look good at twilight. These days I am so bored of seeing the tower and the dome in Calgary photos. Ditto that excuse for a tower in Vancouver.

Sorry you're bored with the Saddledome shot. It's an iconic building that won't be here in a few years. It was also taken to show how much the city skyline has changed but I didn't include the older shot. How about if I do that now?
As for the other image, twilight or night shots are interesting but not my thing, so once again sorry if you don't care for it.

Specifically for Shard.
A different angle of the Calgary skyline not often seen.


Or perhaps one of the Peace Bridge?

Those red bits look less like giant waste bins in the recent pic.

That's a much more interesting skyline !! Where did you take it from? I like those buildings on the RHS which seem to cascade down.

I didn't realize that the Sadledome is soon to be replaced. Good news, I guess. Comparison photos are interesting, thanks for posting.

The skyline shot was taken from Toronto Crescent (west of Crowchild Trail a few blocks north of 5th Avenue)
The Saddledome will be around for another five to six years but the city agreed a couple of months ago to a deal with the Flames to build a new arena, although there are no actual building plans yet.

Absolutely zero knowledge on Calgary but I just google mapped that street and there's some fine houses with awesome views there!
