LD, is this supposed to be a joke?
I explained very clearly to you what is going on...but you do not want to pay attention...here we go again...
Let us use the figure you came up with, that is 143 meters which would constitute the visual obstacle, if the photograph is taken from St. Catharines, from a height of 1.65 meters.
If I am able to come up with any photograph taken from an altitude of, say, 2-10 meters, which would show details from the Toronto skyline of under 143 meters, then the debate is over.
In order to prove the earth is round, based on photography, is MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than to prove it is flat.
Let us suppose now you come up with a photograph that gives a visual obstacle of 160 meters (or even 155 meters). Then, immediately, we can use the sinking ship effect to explain this fact on a flat earth. No matter to which height you go, over 143 meters, it is the same thing.
If you want to prove the earth is round, you must come up, in the case of Lake Ontario, St. Catharines - Toronto, with a photograph with an exact measure of about 142-145 meters (for the visual obstacle). The photograph from the skyscrapers forum shows details way above that.
Now, until I am able to come up with a photo which does show details of the skyline found to be at under 143 meters, you would have the upper hand.
But I did post here one of the most remarkable photographs possible, which does show that there is no curvature over Lake Ontario.
Let us go back to the facts.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/j-a-x/129240474/The roof top of the Sky Dome visible (well intended round earth supporters brought to our attention that the height of the Sky Dome is actually 90 meters, and not 86; at least 5 meters of the roof is visible, that would bring it back right to about 86, but we will use here a value of 90 meters).
Even with atmospheric reffraction (which is absent in this photograph) we might substract a few meters, there would still be about 50-55 meters remaining which cannot be explained on a round earth.
The photographer was on the beach at St. Catharines (50 km distance from Toronto), curvature of 49.5 meters, from a height of 2 meters you could not see anything under 158 meters, from 3 meters nothing could be seen under 150.5 meters.
Here is the beach in St. Catharines:

There is a difference of 60 meters between the accepted round earth measure of 150.5 meters (under which you could see nothing), and the visible portion of the top of the Sky Dome...
Note that I have used a 50 km distance (actually 52-53 km) and a 3 meter height for the photographer (actually 2).
Here is a panorama of the Toronto skyline:
