Roof Top Shots.....Laying A Foundation

So this is another building that will be going up. This is the beginnings of what will eventually be the location of a new office tower. I love how small the equipment looks. Behind this you can see the beginnings of what will be part of the new downtown arena

[Nathan Schmidt]

Massive... those excavators look like toys in the sandbox!

[Candace]

It is going to be huge!

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic picture and perspective.

[Maggiemae]

Be interesting to take the same picture in 6 months!

[Anita Campbell]

An arena!! For "stampede" type activity, hockey, curling...???

[Delia]

That must going to be a huge building. Look forward to seeing the progress photos

[Judith]

Great shot! I love watching construction. Those big pieces of equipment are dwarfed by the size of that hole in the ground. I love all the pops of red/orange.

[Graham Thresher]

A memorable capture for the future.

[Jane Anderson]

Good to see the economy doing so well there.

[Dione Giorgio]

A lot of work going on there. Beautiful shot.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful capture of the work in progress.

[Danette Thompson]

Very interesting photo. Love construction sites.

[Stephanie Swift]

Looks lime a wonderful toy setup in a sandbox, fav!

[Hubregt Visser]

That could be the start of a wonderful collage, taking a picture every week or so.

[Ivan]

Great perspective, nothing stands still, progress!

[Milanie]

You are in one busy city right now - great detail on the activity.

[Lynne Hart]

The equipment looks so small, nice perspective.

[Molly]

Interesting shot with a nice mixture of light and shadow.

[Chris]

Nice record of the Coty changes.

[bruni]

These are great pictures taken from above.

[Beverly Parks]

Like toy trucks in a sandbox!

[*lynn]

cool shot

[KWind]

Wow... looks like a huge job site.

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

Its a very large plot of land the equipment does look tiny,I wonder how long it will take?

[Carole Imes]

Great capture of the construction in process!

[Anita Campbell]

@bkbinthecity I should have thought about the Oilers. Most of my family are rabid Flames enthusiasts. They have an ongoing "discussion" with the few who live n the Edmonton/Sherwood Park/Wetaskiwin areas who cheer for the Oilers. (We stay out of it!)

[Helen S J]

Did you take this from very high up? Great shot, lots of interest

[Paula W]

Very interesting. Great to have photos like this as once the building is finished it's really hard to imagine it started out like this.

[bkb in the city]

@cimes1 Thanks Carole
