Not sure how much this thread will interest people, or how many of the 30 odd shots I have I should put in either, so I'll whack in around half and you can tell me if I should add any more.

Most of these have been taken from either our 19th floor room or the 77th floor observation deck in the Q1 building on the Gold Coast ...

Very nice MA. I really like #3 with the clouds and the cool lighting on the building.

Love these, MA. Very interesting buildings. I find the inclusion of the woman in the second one adds quite a bit of interest :)

I thought it important to make sure you didn't think we lived in thatched huts and used smoke and carrier pigeons for our communications :)

Why not, sounds amusingly eccentric. My favorite so far is #4 in the second post.

Nice set again! I can agree with Iggy and I also like the 5th shot in the second set (the AMZ?). Thats a neat looking building! Like the glass.
Keep posting this stuff. You are saving me a fortune in travel costs!!:thumbup:

Certainly a lot different than the square concrete and glass we're used to.

Cool buildings. I like in the second post, the third - the curved corner, and the forth one.

Both really cool sets MA. Have to say though, love the 3rd shot in 1st set for the stark contrast with the sky, and love the perspective showing the circular shapes in the 6th one of same set. Very well done.

Thanks aubintbay, Andrew, asnow and HBG.

HBG ... I must say that the 3rd shot is a cheat though. That sky wasn't there, neither was the lighting. It was a drab, grey sky and very flat light. I processed it all in. It's the only shot from the GC threads I've done that with though.

Andrew ... are the buildings in Canada lacking style in most cases??
