All hideous BTW IMO. I would rather have a 2000 foot tv tower 50 miles away from the downtown of any city if works.

Do any of these things have skydecks?

Not true. All are ugly BUT one. The Oriental Pearl Tower is beautiful, even better looking than the C.N. Tower and one of the best looking. Not to mention it's probably the most futuristic, and the colors are amazing. You don't see red on any 1500 foot structure (besides antennas).

By sky decks do you mean observation decks or outdoor decks?

#1 Ostankino; #2 Gerbrandy; #3 Oriental Pearl; #4 ?; #5 Kiev; #6 Somewhere in Australia; #7 Tashkent

This seems to me the most correct. The 4th :shrug: also, but among all towers i have seen its design I consider the Oriental Pearl even more beautiful the CN Tower, all ones in Germany and why not saying more beautiful the Eiffel Tower as well... but my oppinion. The 2 spheres and colours are too futuristic in the Pearl Tower...:P

I think #4 is a telecommunication tower in Belgium.

The second one is rather WEIRD.

Gerbrandy is a guyed mast on top of a concrete tower (if that's what number 2 is), so it's only half freestanding.

Thank you very much guys!
I believe #2 is indeed Gerbrandy. #4 and 6 seemed most confusing for everybody. I think these are VRT Toren (Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium) and Fernmeldeturm Schäferberg Berlin respectively.

That's could be the answer, although the Berlin one is too smaller comparing, I do not know why the author did not chose the Berlin Fernsehen turm more interesting.

I consider the Oriental Pearl even more beautiful the CN Tower,
god knows i am biased being in toronto, but the silouette of the CN tower would beat all of those gawky things. it has a certain feminine grace...nice girley lines.
yet of course, phallic.
the oriental pearl is just absolutely 100 per cent phallic.
