Love the fall colors of the trees in St. Louis.

There's a few points in Pittsburgh where you can capture both the Downtown and Oakland skylines.

I need to get a lens...

That's Coney Island in the background. The other end of Brooklyn from what most people would consider the "Brooklyn skyline".

Quite a great picture, was this taken from the Chestnut Ridge park area?

I wished there was a higher resolution photo, because to the right of the tower in Niagara Falls, ON and to the left of the Rainbow Centre building in Niagara Falls, NY there is a very faint looking tower in the background, and that appears to be the CN Tower, which would be visible from a distance of roughly 80 miles in this photo.

So technically, you could say there are three skylines in this photo.

^That's the Casino Niagara observation tower. You can see it on the right of the Sheraton.

And the Toronto skyline, by the angle of that photo, would literally be behind the main cluster of Niagara Falls, Ontario or to the left of it.

^No, I think I see what he means. It's right in the middle in the space between the tiny cluster of NF, NY buildings and the observation tower in NF, ONT...it's barely even visible, but it does appear to be a tall tower surrounded by other towers...I think...?

Here are a couple more cool St. Louis/Clayton double-skyline shots taken by texas_stl over at Flickr:

You're not talking about the actual Niagara Falls, NY skyline, are you? Because from the Buffalo skyline going left I see the Seneca Niagara Casino...space...Niagara Falls, NY skyline...space...the Sheraton/Casino Niagara...space...Skylon Tower/Niagara Falls, Ontario. Now there is some faint misty silhouette between the Fallsview Casino tower and the other hotels but that might just be mist. But if Toronto is in that photo, it has to be that as that's the sightline of the photo.

I think I see what Brandon's talking about. Look below the N in Niagara Falls, and I think you might see this:

Here, this should clear up any confusion:

I wonder if there's a DC + Baltimore + Philadelphia + NYC + Boston skyline shot somewhere. They are all on the same line, so it's probably possible with clear skies and enough telephoto power.

[Dr Nevergold]

^I think that would be impossible, the distance between Boston and DC is 400 miles. Even in an airplane you couldn't make out that far of a distance.

[photoLith]

You would have to be like miles above the Earth to see all those skylines.

This gives an idea where the picture would have to have been taken to get downtown TO between the Casino Tower and the Skylon.


JMHO is that the TO skyline is hidden behind Buffalo's in that particular shot, and maybe we're seeing the Marilyns, or something.

Thats a nice shot of Newark and NYC. RU newark is there. That looks like its on top of the NJIT parking deck.
