Cityscape shooting locations?

[canadianx]

I am interested in shooting some pics of the cityline from various locations but only know of a couple. Does anyone have some nice secret spots where they like to shoot from?

I personally like the perspective from 26th st/ 26th Ave SE, at night it looks great, and during the day you can catch some mountains in the pic too. Anywhere along that stretch is nice.

Joint point isnt bad, on nose hill off of 14'th

The C-Train station across from the old General Hospital I find is a good location to shoot from, specifically when setting up at the crosswalk north of Memorial. I think the 5th Ave flyover, the train station, and that angle of downtown really defines Calgary.

Crescent Heights (I think that's what it's called) the hill by the Chinatown bridge...

This would be up on the ridge across Deerfoot from the Inglewood golf club (I think)

Lower SAIT/ACAD parking lot. Overlooks Kensington towards downtown.

haha close enough then. I know exactly where you are talking. Don't you get a lot of the industrial section in there with a shot from that angle?

Depends on how you're shooting it......ANd how much fringe you want in the picture....I've shot it from the roof of the fire station before with good results...
