Another shot of SF skyline from afar. Roughly 30 miles from Vargas Plateau Regional Park in Fremont.

and San Jose (similar vantage point) about 15 miles away.

For scale purposes, the tallest building on the extreme right is 900' tall.

New York... from New Rochelle, NY in Westchester County

New Rochelle is really building up. I think there are a couple of dozen highrise proposals in the works, including some really major towers.

New Rochelle, Yonkers, Stamford and White Plains (and maybe Mount Vernon), in the coming years, are likely going to have really impressive skyline profiles. Port Chester and Norwalk will have sizable midrise profiles.

Wasn't someone saying once it could be possible to see Toronto in one direction and Buffalo in another from that tower?

Yes, it was posted a few pages back. Buffalo from the Skyline Tower:

Great shots! Yeah that is neat to be able to see both Toronto and Buffalo from the Skylon tower in NF if you have a sweet telephoto lens

I love how Toronto when viewed from across Lake Ontario looks like a mini Canuck Coruscant

I've seen it certain mornings on Victoria Ave/RR 24 from the top of the Niagara escarpment (right as you descend downhill) and, with the right lighting conditions, it's almost reminiscent of The Emerald City from Wizard of Oz.

A bit further North is where one can see it in person or with a good lens
Regional Rd 24/Victoria Ave, Vineland (Lincoln), Ontario

Not quite a dozen... but certainly a handful. And one proposal would be the tallest in New York State outside of NYC, surpassing Empire State Plaza in Albany.

It's surprising that these places don't have fairly impressive skylines already. You'd think that transit-oriented development and little downtowns that are there would've been developed more extensively by now, like Jersey City, since they are so close to the city.

Downtown Austin from the suburb of Elgin, ~23 miles to the east. The recently topped out 874' Sixth x Guadalupe tower is visible.

Mopacs · #**652** Posted **May 15, 2023, 12:44 AM**

Skyline from the northwest above Lake Austin at a much closer ~10 miles. Both pics capture the topography of the heavily wooded Texas Hill Country.

Taken by me late last year.

^ Oh oh oh!!!

The classic shot, now with 1000M!

A mighty and much-needed gap filler at all scales.

The lighting, humidity, wind made for a perfect shot. Looks like there's relatively little post work done on it as well.

A bit of info about this view:
The Boise River flows through the city and is a major tributary of the Snake River, which is the largest tributary of the Columbia River.

The Snake River and Canyon are south of the city near the Owyhee Mountains in the backdrop.

A few extinct volcanoes dot the misty landscape. It had been raining earlier in the day.

The Native Tribes referred to this valley as The Peace Valley. It was their sacred gathering place.

nice!

if that's near Bogus, i'm guessing it's about 12-13 miles from downtown as the crow flies, plus about 4,000 vertical feet higher?

Not the highest quality shot (pretty hazy and just my phone camera), but here's Chicago from Gary's Marquette Park Beach taken this afternoon. 26 miles across the water.

The ship on the left is American Integrity, a thousand-footer ore boat that had just pulled out of US Steel's Gary Works, on its way up to lake superior to pick up another load of taconite.
