Well that actually misses out the main cluster at Canary Wharf, which would be in the east.




Here's another shot of the Vauxhall and City skylines, but once again no Canary Wharf or Stratford

Montreal from Burlington, VT (73 mi)

I've skied at Jay Peak, VT in 2005 and it was a clear day. You could see Montreal from there as well, not sure if it's further or not. Pretty close.

You can see the Montreal Skyline from the observation tower at the top of Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid. Apparently, at night from that same location there is quite a glow of Montreal.

Another one of Chicago.

Will melt your screen this one. Kind of a futuristic vibe.

Or the beginning moments after a nuke went off during the night, so the skyline viewed from far away when that happened.

Best music cities on the continent... NOLA and Nashville. Skylines (such as they are) sure hit a flat note though.

Nashville at least has the Batman building. But as a fan of boxy skyscrapers, I like buildings like One Shell Plaza, First Canadian Place and Republic Plaza in Denver.

What a contrast from the lush green to the dry brown background.
