Now that we are putting up skyline pics...took this one yesterday on my way from New York... somewhere by Grimsby, St Catharines.

Here is one of Mississauga from the same location...strange, it looked just a smidge smaller than Toronto.

Amazing stuff! Insane visibility, even four seasons can be seen! And it's cool how the perspective from across he lake makes the depth perception so messed up, I mean, four seasons looks like it's just outside the cbd, when in reality, it's far away....

I'm curious what your vantage point is (other than "west" in general). With all of those evergreens and that single house in the foreground, it looks almost like a view of Toronto as seen from cottage country, although I know it isn't...

The pictures were taken northeast of Erin Mills Parkway and QEW.

Its because Mississauga's City Center is on higher ground.

WopChop-Will the onion dome be higher then the current piece of structure that's sticking out?
Thanks.

What is the tallest looking structure in the pic of Mississauga? Is that Chicago? Just to the right of Absolute towers.

No Chicago is the second tallest building on the far left side of the picture

I actually don't know what that is..... Maybe it's something flying in the wind ..... but it's too vertical to be anything but a structure.....

My guess would be that's as high as the onion will get, if only because its height is about equal to the width of the podium it's on.

The spire on top of it will of course go much higher.

Yeah strange, and i took a couple of other pics from the same vantage point with that same phantom tower..looks like a non existing smokestack in Port Credit...sorry for being off topic, dont get it.

Aug 27 - Looks like they've started assembling the dome

Right-on, nice pic nicetommy...indeed it looks like it officially started.

Now THIS is awesome ^^^
From the looks of it, are they attaching it to the spire/framework, then are going to swing it around to the west/north sides respectively?
