Smoke is back

This is fine. It's totally normal for it to be 10pm dark at noon. Everything is fine.

Man... that is some heavy smoke. We've got a little bit out here in the Okanagan but nowhere near as bad as you guys have it.

Passer domesticus female with two little Passers saying, "You forgot the food, Mother! If you need a reminder, check out my tonsils!" Nice catch captain D!

Speaking of birds, some enterprising magpies seem to have taken up residence with Chez Pierre's showgirls.

@Kaizen . Great shots. First one reminds me of pre-2009 Edmonton.
Will they please do something with that black bar looking thing (elevator shaft?) going down on Stantec. Match the colour or put some night lighting on it. Eastern view definitely needs some finishing.

Random thoughts...

The potential gondola terminus could work well here at Macdonald Drive /Centre High/Telus plaza, and tie into a raised walkover 100th to get pedestrians to the Funicular safely.

Nice attempt at a re skinning there Chateau L, but that massive parkade is screaming for help

From this perspective I'd imagine a view of the top third of tower. Place Great Gulf tower here ⬇

end of random thoughts

^^ @cpnfantstk, Your right, that first shot is all pre-90's besides a sliver of Enbridge (needed 10+ floors dam it!) ) & Encore of course.
The East view of the elevator shaft seems like an afterthought. Could have been better.

@Kaizen if you want a more random thought. The Telus Plaza Building. There's an nearly exact copy of it in San Fransisco. Check out the movie Bullit with Steve McQueen. You'll see it near the beginning of the movie in the background.

 

[Kaizen]

Ah, Now your messing with me. I remember that very San FranAGTsisco deal. Good movie just for that !
There's a couple other 'Telus' clones around too, not that perfect though.
