Elkhanan is one of our Toronto members who has a knack for finding great photos! These latest were by Redroom Studios, and were posted on Urban Toronto. Plus he is a clever lad to boot and knows a great deal about the field of architecture.

I believe he is single, and he is very handsome! Very eligible bachelor, aren't you, Elkhanan!

Quoting "elliot"

I was picking away at this mega-pano last year (obviously before 1 Bloor East cacked) but got bored and gave up on it...
stuff is missing and I doubt I'll ever get back to this... but it might be worth a look,
so here's the work-in-progress:

In similar fashion to the huge waterfront pano I did, this one assumes you are standing near Cherry Beach and looking/panning from west to east,
all the way to Eglinton (which can be seen in reality).

Cherry Beach offers a unique POV because you can see the waterfront skyline and much of the north/south skyline that usually is hidden in Toronto photos.

SPECIAL NOTE: I threw a bunch of generic/fictional buildings into East Bayfront as sort of placeholders
'cause I was interested in how that built form will appear when complete.

Ottawa is a pretty city, especially in the spring and in the autumn.

Hi Ukraine, No, I was just visiting Montréal. (city trip)
Montréal is a fun place for a city trip but I wonder if it is a fun place to live at all, knowing the traffic jam, dense downtown, etc.

I moved to Montréal after graduating from university. I had an amazing 2 years there and would recommend it to any one. I still look back at those years very fondly.
