wendy-cake 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I just saw a short thing on discovery channel (?) that showed some city skylines from around the world - some of them looked awesome even if I never really heard of the places. Do you have a favorite city skyline? with pics? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Sydney - day or night, but has to be from the correct angle. Paris at night - not so much a sky line, just a huge amazing sight. NY - the linear aspect is fantastic, so to is the architectural shape of the buildings (kind of 'wedding cake' shaped). There are so many buildings there that it is a great city skyline, even with it's two front teeth missing. Chicago - along the lake looks good. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Not to mention the ubiquitous Hong Kong Island... A lot of Islamic based/historically islamic cities, Lahore, New Dehli, etc have interesting skylines with the domes and minuets(?), old forts... if you can see passed the smog, that is.

scouser 4 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hong Kong is pretty wild. yeah. It might not be the most impressive in the world, but Liverpool does have a good skyline from across the water New Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 A bit partial to Walled Lake, Michigan. Lots of trees and lakes, and maybe a couple of 2-story buildings here and there. Link to post Share on other sites
connackers 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Shanghai - The Bund, and just generally some amazing architecture Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Honolulu at night looking at Waikiki towards Diamond Head from the water aboard a sail boat, surf board or catamaran. NYC Manhattan at night from the East River. The Vegas Strip at night. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Adelaide is nothing in comparison to huge cities like Sydney, tokyo etc but there's something that I like about it's lack of tall buildings. Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 HK is wild, shanghai is pretty special too. It's quite touristy, but looking at San Fran from Alcatraz is a pretty good view - two bridges and then the city compacted into the middle. Moscow has got an amazing skyline - standing in Red Square is fantastic, and the Seven Sisters scattered through the city are all mindblowing. But a fave is Vancouver on a clear night from the south side of the river, with Grouse mountain lit up in the distance. Link to post Share on other sites
Gort 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Vegas is pretty amazing place all round Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'm going to Shanghai next week. We will stay at the peace hotel. So, I'm looking forward to the Shanghai skyline from the roof! I like Tokyo skyline from Rainbow Bridge on a fine day and always happy to see Fujisan. Link to post Share on other sites
yamayamayama 2 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I prefer a traditional look to big skyscrapers, somewhere like Oxford on an autumn evening. Link to post Share on other sites
