cool site - city scapes are some of my favorite....

i've been to all those US cities and Toronto, but none of the asian ones... look really beautiful...

glad to see Pittsburgh with an honorable mention - i grew up around there and always thought it was a nice city....

wow thats an awsome site, thanks

NY still should be #1... They have over 5900 sky rise buildings... Chicago has 1850 :scared

With the size of Indianapolis they should have more of a skyline, but I would take cleanliness over any city with a million plus...

Great site, I could browse that all day.

i agree - SF should be in, sao paolo out - too much sprawl, but maybe it isn't big enough to qualify....

when i was traveling recently in europe, this was my favorite city skyline - maybe edinburgh is also too small to qualify...

So. Cal
I think that LA should be up there before Frankfort, LA still takes my eyes off the road when driving by downtown. Awsome Pic of San Fran from spurs D as well, but one of the most varied and recognizable skyline of any city has to be a very obvious one for all of us here.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Great testament to 20th century man. Every one of those pictures takes my breath away, and then some.

The imagination, sweat and brilliance that went into all those buildings blows my mind away.

Wish my town (SF) was on the list too; on my walk to work everyday I cannot help but stare up at the cluster of skyrises downtown. I end up looking like a tourist in the city I've lived my entire life, but it's worth it.

I'll take dirty, grime, pollution, crime, crowd any day to experience city life.

Love the Vegas one too. Purely American!

Great thread.
