Rico - great shots! Love your black and white style, it goes so well with a big city and the snow! This shot is wild - the way the smoke is ’reacting’ to the Olympic Stadium tower. It almost looks like a shark emerging from the ocean to devour the stadium
Ha, now that I look at it in that context the stadium tower also looks like a giant face shooting frickin lazer beams into the stadium roof (giant squid!). I swear I haven’t had anything to drink this morning..

Also I agree with your view on skylines, I’d rather have the finer detail, colour, historic buildings that big blocky concrete monsters as the skyline facing the waterfront. As tall buildings are restricted in this area it’ll never be an impressive North American skyline from this location anyway. The new 20+ storey buildings going up a few blocks behind this will be hardly visible at all, or if they are just provide a bit of a backdrop.
Martin - you left out a key point I made (added back in bold):
“I guess I could spread them out across more posts, but it’s not like you see a lot of Victoria photos here. I see more Montreal Instagram pictures in a single post,
but I also enjoy those.”
It was not meant as a criticism of your posts, but that I enjoy longer photo posts as well. Well, shorter ones now I suppose as you’ve cut them back as you said.
Also thanks CSBvan - the Centennial Square with the palm tree one is also one of my favs - those 1960’s stylings have stood the test of time.
