Wow don't you think 1 Bloor west has gotten SO much taller in the past year?

… “most impressive displays of high-rise clusters”? Globally? Not quite-but getting there. If only the eye sore ones (there are more than a few) could be erased. But in spite of itself, Toronto does boast having one of the nicest, filled in, pretty city skylines around. And with higher standards of design and more attractive architecture being built now & in future …that may come true.

That was my first reaction also when seeing this beautiful picture. One Bloor West was as tall as On Bloor East almost a year ago.

I started a YouTube channel yesterday to host my GoPro videos that I've been messing around with... so now that we have 3 super-talls u/c I slapped together some of my future skyline scribbles (from 2023 back to 2007) into a 30 second epic.

BTW the base photo for the second image was kindly provided by @Natika33

^ ^ EDITED TO ADD: Forgive the indulgence but I stumbled across another early rendering (base photo shot from my roof-top) featuring Harry Stinson's pipe-dream "SAPPHIRE" and couldn't resist adding it lol (along with a couple of others). 3D

This is a YouTube channel that I subscribe to that provides LIVE arrivals and departures at Pearson. I'm posting this link here because in the first frames, you can see an interesting shot of the downtown Skyline showing the progress on the Pinnacle Tower, which looks very prominent from Pearson, and it appears to be about the same height as First Canadian. If I were tech-savvy, I would make a screen grab and post it in the Pinnacle thread.

If you are an "Av Geek" like me, I would recommend subscribing to this channel and giving it a like. It is the best YouTube channel providing live arrivals and departures from Pearson. It captures other interesting skyline shots e.g. MCC and mid-town and more.
