Where is the tree?


I know this has come up in a few threads, but ... anyone know exactly where the tree is? Looked like some of the opening shots were in Trinity Bellwoods, but those last shots of the Bank of Montreal building and the CN Tower look like they were taken from the northeast -- maybe the Leaside Bridge. Serena Gundy Park seems a bit too far away for that shot. Any guesses?

Great film -- loved it!

In the credits, Boyd Conservation Park is thanked and that is in Vaughan. Based on the alignment of the CN tower, First Canadian Place and Scotia tower, the shot at the end is from North of Riverdale but South of Mallory (which is near the Leaside bridge). Maybe Todmorden Mills? I doubt it because based on other pictures I have, it's south of the Brickworks. It could be taken from somewhere further away than I'm guessing with quite a zoom.

The tree may not be in the same place as the final shot.

When I use Google Earth to run a straight line from the CN tower through the First Canadian Place (in the last shot, the CN tower is largely obscured by the 1st Canadian Place), I get a lot of possible places. From on the West side of the DVP, just south of the Bloor Viaduct, to Sunshine Valley, to the plateau of grass on the West side of Leslie St. across from the Inn on the Park. Depending on the zoom, it could have even been the Don Valley Golf Course.
