I think this is one of the best places to get a glimpse of how much change is taking place here. With Charlie West, 1 Victoria, UW School of Pharmacy, the new train station is completed, all 5 towers (including that 44 floor one) of Station Park and The Breithaupt Block Phase III etc, it's going to look like a new city at this intersection

508A approaching City Hall Station:
East downtown:
Market Lane, which is usually a lot more lovely in warm weather (and no deadly pandemic):
The soon to be possibly demolished Kramp Apartments
Row houses: The beautiful old brutalist Eiwo Canada building which is in desperate need of some love to save it:

How do you get up high to get those shots?

Correct, I just wandered up various parking garages. It didn't occur to me to check out the one on Benton since it probably has a good view of things, but the Market Square one and the spiral green one still offer pretty good panoramas.

Skyline 2021 vs 2015

Nice photos! I find that it's fairly hard to capture the skyline here because it's spread out in a few different areas - downtown, uptown and the university area. Hard to capture all that in one photo, and stitching a bunch of single photos into a panoramic one ends up really messing it up.

Thanks! Yeah it can be tricky to align everything in a way that captures what's actually there.
Chicopee's angle for instance, looks completely different: MSP 20210615-IMG_8730 by Matt, on Flickr And a few other recent shots MSP 20210523-IMG_9686 by Matt, on Flickr MSP 20210601-IMG_9870 by Matt, on Flickr MSP 20210609-IMG_8575 by Matt, on Flickr MSP 20210523-IMG_9641 by Matt, on Flickr MSP 20210605-IMG_8499 by Matt, on Flickr

Henry Strum Greenway just west of Lawrence maybe?

A little bit of a different skyline view, from Sawmill Road, just south of the Crowsfoot/Katherine intersection.
DTK and Charlie West really stand out from here.
Found this old map from the late 19th century posted over on Reddit and thought I'd share it here. It's pretty interesting! Full image link if you want to zoom in: https://i.imgur.com/UJobDWe.jpg

Chimneys and churches!

It's interesting that the old water tower on St. George Street was preceded by a standpipe at the same location. It looks really similar to the design of the one that used to stand outside Clinton: http://www.eureka4you.com/wt-on/ONClinton.htm
