Minto Midtown looks like it's on Front or Wellington...and North York Centre looks like it's in Rosedale.

thanks guys for leaving some great comments... yes, its crazy how much distance gets crushed by perspective! Its fun picking out individual buildings. I'd like to try this again when weather conditions are better or maybe at sunset....

Great pic!

where'd you shoot from? skylon?

Queenston Heights is my guess.

 

[Edward Skira]

Great shot!

I'm testing to see if digging a thread will make any difference to the site. Digg this one if you like it.

That's an amazing view. You can often see it heading over the Garden City Skyway and other spots along the QEW, a great preview for people heading to Toronto via the QEW.

hi guys, I took this from Firemen's Park on the north edge of Niagara Falls - from on top of the old city dump that you can see along the QEW at Mountain Road.

Flar, yes I drive over the skyway twice a day to and from work so that was really my inspiration for trying to capture that view.

Absolutely astonishing. First pic I've ever seen that communicates the scale of the city (sometimes T.O. isn't as camera friendly because it's so big).

Fabulous work.

^ Yeah, the super zoom lets both the waterfront and the Yonge axis appear together, and then towers are peaking over the tops of hills, too.

I also love the flock of birds caught in the middle, messing even further with the photo's scale.
