A photo of Kaohsiung's skyline taken last week. Not the best angle, but the sunset that day was amazing.

Albuquerque Skyline

Austinlee Mar 18, 2013 2:41 AM

Holy shit WonderlandPark! You have systematically gathered what seems to be the absolute best angle of every city you've ever been to. Amazing.

Nouvellecosse Mar 18, 2013 5:35 AM

Particularly amazing considering he seems to have been to every single city!

kingchef Mar 18, 2013 5:43 AM

well, pittsburgh and san diego are beautiful in these shots. chicago is underwhelming, because it just does not look as large as it is. Albuquerque, des moines, phoenix, memphis, nashville, minneapolis, tulsa, okc, and baltimore, along w/ several others makes the rather poor showing list, however, i know some of these cities look much better than the photos. i think skycraper city posters should contact city officials and tell them about the perceptions of the cities that need some work on their presentations, milkaukee, for example, and several of the really large city propers, should hear some of the constructive complaints.

knoxville, boise, fail. kansas city, kansas and kansas city, mo are very nice looking.

imo, toronto is one of those great cities that happen to have wonderful symmetry. i don't know if that were planned or just happened. one thing i do know is that it really does help showcase the city. very nice. i wish some of the american cities that allow developers to build skyscrapers of such enormous proportions, would think about the real possibilities of that particular city growing to the point that 6 to 12 skyscrapers of ten stories <> will likely balance such out of place structures in the city's future.

Well, true some of those skylines do not show the full skyline but you have to admit he got a lot of angles of cities that I wouldn't think a "traveler" would know about. That's what impressed me.

With two conditions please...

One pic per post, one post per member.



That means you get to pick one city to rep and one pic to do it with. Choose wisely!

Boise.

I shot this photo last month. I have others which I feel give a better idea of the size and density of the skyline, such as from Table Rock, but this photo shows the mountains so I decided to post this one. If two photos were allowed I could post an awesome view from the foothills looking down on the city.


Our new soon to be tallest is under construction in the center.

Except for posts about Salt Lake City?

BnaBreaker Mar 19, 2013 6:54 AM

That was a great compilation Wonderlandpark posted. Unfortunate that a phenomenal and original contribution to the thread was erased because of some arbitrary rule. I could understand if he posted fifty pictures of the same neighborhood, but he just posted a single photo of each city. Was that really a "rule" that needed to be enforced?

fflint Mar 19, 2013 7:29 AM

That was unnecessary, especially considering this thread had all but died until he took the time to post his own skyline shots. What was the harm?

Well at least the thread was not deleted - like another moderator did.

Sometimes boards get so petty, so power trip ish, fine, won't post any more pics here, that is for sure.

BnaBreaker Mar 19, 2013 10:19 PM

That's too bad, but I certainly understand...love your photography.

Thanks, J.

Why not just start your own separate photo thread in the photography section? Yes, it may seem a little silly that they were deleted from here, but at the same time, we do need things to be organized. It would really be unfortunate if people weren't able to enjoy them at all, when the site has a whole subsection dedicated specifically to such content.

Yes, I hope this happens. There are many of us who didn't get to see the photos before they were deleted.

I sure didn't. But I did see the 3 SLC pictures right in a row that remain there today.

You almost make the water look like something to be swam in, when it's anything but.

I believe that's Pike's Peak. This is looking south.

LMich Apr 18, 2013 8:27 AM

A few years old (2010) - and you can tell because the skyscraper crowns aren't as well lit as they are now - but this is the view you get of the Detroit skyline going upriver below the bridge:

It's going to be really neat to see the view when the second bridge is built providing more texture to this shot.

Yeah, the view of our downtowns should be pretty sweet from the new bridge, unfortunately though, the opposite view will be of Zug Island and that whole industrial hellhole on the American side looking south.
