Best City Skyline?

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'm biased, but Miami does it for me. Almost everyday I drive by downtown on I-95 and the city just oozes suavete and sexiness. The view from Key Biscayne/Rickenbacker Causeway is nice too. From Brickell to Downtown it's just a really sleek looking city. Internationally--I've never seen it, but Dubai looks incredible. This pic is too small and doesn't do it justice, but whatevs...

I'd love to see Hong Kong with my own eyes, from pictures it looks incredible. New York's is nice but almost boring because we see so much of it in movies and TV. I'm partial but I also think Dallas has a good one.

Not really a good shot. But the view of the strip from the room I had in vegas, I can't wait to go back.

The desert's gonna reclaim Dubai in about 50 years, if not sooner. Enjoy it while it's there.

Coming off the Golden Gate or Bay bridge and seeing Downtown SF is my favorite--that shit is nice. NYC would be pretty close but I was drunk and passed out in the cab...

pretty monotonous IMO

[The Gemini Method]

Yeah, too much as well--a skyline shouldn't be by scale of buildings or common theme, but one of variety and grandeur and a sense of balance with the natural setting it is built upon.

[Lincoln]

This actually came up the other day with a few friends of mine and I said Seattle and SF. One dipshit looked at me and said "Wtf are you talking about? SF has no skyline". :lmao

[symple19]

Seoul and Tokyo are impressive for sheer size, but good luck finding a clear, non-smoggy day to see them. Much better seen at night. Two biggest/most impressive I've seen with my own two eyes. Probably aren't the most picturesque in Asia, though. Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur look a lot better judging from pictures

For being a huge shithole Houston is pretty good. Just drove through there last week for the first time in a few years. I always forget just how big it is until I drive by it.

Seattle is underrated, imo...probably my second favorite, especially when viewed with Rainier in the background

This is kind of different than normal skyline pics but I think it looks incredible:

Denver has a nice skyline when you can actually see the mountains. Lately there's been so much residual smog and smoke from the fires that, if you didn't already know it, you'd never guess there were mountains out there.

[baseline bum]

http://www.globeimages.net/data/media/5/seattle_skyline.jpg

Yeah, Seattle is definitely the best in the nation. I love the view of San Francisco's skyline from the Golden Gate when there's lots of low fog and you can see the skyscrapers peeking out of the top.

london has maybe the nicest skyline of all modern cities in the world today imho, shit looked intriguingly good on TV when i watched olympic opening ceremony, and it'd also be a fine tour destination for you if your sick of the gleaming facades of the skyscrapers tbh

Of the places I've seen in person, San Francisco is the easy answer. Gorgeous from every angle and in every type of weather.

New York City is great, but only from certain angles. It will always get points for having the art deco fabulousness of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, though.

Agreed. I'm a huge sucker for anything from the art deco time.

I camp at Four Mile Creek once every 1-2 years and Toronto looks pretty cool from across Lake Ontario. The city itself is nice too when you're there.

this is a joke for anyone too dense to figure it out. But the huge building on the left isn't photoshopped.

[baseline bum]

ROFL Ryugong Hotel. Kim Jong Il dumped a ton of that nations GDP into that piece of shit, and it will never be habitable. I think I read dear leader got some cell-phone company to pay for the glass on the outside in exchange for being able to setup in Pyongyang.

Damn Paris is beautiful and simple. Some of those Asian cities look badass too (Singapore). Always been into cityscape architecture.

New York is good too but it's just too grey, hopefully the new world trade center skyscrapers add to the skyline. Los Angeles is meh although I love the city. SF and Seattle are still my favorite from the US that I've been to
