Thanks! I love the Canadian skylines. I've always been fascinated with views of the Toronto skyline from the American side of the lake and those pics are awesome. Also amazing that the Montreal skyline can be visible from the mountains of northern Vermont.

Yeah I was amazed that I could see Montreal from Jay Peak when I went skiing there years ago.

On a very clear day, you can see Okotoks from Jay Peak.

Here is Montreal from Whiteface (New York State)

I could see Winnipeg from Dugald. Apparently Winnipeg is in the Red River valley, so its skyline disappears rapidly. A week ago Sunday, I could see the CN tower from Paradise Beach, Ajax. Coming down the 400, I feel so close to home when I crest the hill and can see those new towers at Vaughan City Centre, which I can also see looking directly north from my balcony, including the biggest roller-coaster at Canada's Wonderland. (Four year's ago I stupidly went on a ride there, having never gone on a coaster before. Never again ugh.)

I can see Okotoks skyline from Danielle Smith's bedroom window.

Was at Fairview Mall in North York for the first time in at least 15 years. It's a busy mall and no way in hell was I was to go fight for parking on the ground level. So just like at Square One, I make my way up the parking garage. Though at SQ1 you have to go more levels up to get to sparsely populated lot. At Fairview on Thursday I only had to go up to the 2nd floor before I found tonnes of parking. Imagine if people would use rational thinking and drive up one level instead of circling around on the ground level for a couple of minutes looking for the closest spot they can try and squeeze their $80k car into and at the same time risk getting said car dinged.

Even when I got up the second level, there were 5 cars in a row parked in the 5 closest spots. And some lady decided to reverse into the sixth, which had no car in the spot behind. No word of a lie. Instead of just driving forward into the any of the hundred empty spots in the vicinity, she decided to make life more difficult.

And god damn, I got to Wonderland on Tuesday at 10am open and parked at an end spot where I could put two tires over the gridlines so that whoever parks in the second spot could swing their door wide open and not ding me. Remember, lots of kids getting out of car doors there. Lady pulled up with three boys in like a Chevy Aveo tiny car and put her right tires on the right line of the spot. The gap between us could have comfortably fit two Harley Davidsons. Completely oblvious to the shitty parking job that made parking in the third closest spot challenging.

Anyway, Fairveiw Mall is in North York so technically the same city as DT Toronto so not all that impressive but I did find it interesting in this one spot of the parking lot you could see North York and Toronto downtowns by just swiveling your head a few degrees.
