I think Kansas City's downtown skyline is so underrated. It has some of the best art deco towers for a medium sized metro and its tallest is very beautiful and modern and at the very center of the skyline creating a very nice apex. I hope the downtown continues to progress because it is underutilized as of now but I know that is changing:)

South Florida is polycentric as all hell. We still have football announcers calling Sunny Isles Beach downtown Miami because it's in north Miami-Dade where Sun Life Stadium is when the Miami skyline is the much bigger one farther down the coast - dumb announcers. |
Oakland + San Francisco in the background:

This is the Aventura skyline with the Hallandale Beach skyline and the Hollywood Beach skyline beyond.

Cro,
Just a heads up, but while I appreciate your enthusiasm, some of those photos were FAR too large, and your first post had too many photos. This thread had largely gone away with breaking the rules (one photo per post), but you took more liberty with that than most have. If you'd like the links to the photos back, I can get those for you, just PM me. So, I'm asking everyone else to at least try to follow the rule of one picture per post just to keep this managable. |
Here are a few shots of Nashville...yeah, they're similar, but it's my favorite view of the skyline:

Watch out, New Yorkers... don't let them do something crazy to 55 Water St. Of course, given that RSA probably doesn't own another building in NYC, you might could actually wind up with something interesting. |
Sydney, sunset to darkness:

QuantumX I love your photos. I can't believe I haven't been to Miami yet, although I've been all over the rest of FL. One thing I do a lot is go to YouTube and do searches on "landing in Miami". That way I get to see nice flyovers of the city.

I had to resize this pic because I really couldn't see the full impact at that size. It was like trying to put together the pieces of a puzzle.

There is such a variety of towers in Hong Kong. You have everything from super wonderfull office spectacles right on down to third world decaying apartments from hell. All of which combine to make a little piece of heaven. It is all Just fantastic to say the least. Yes, a little piece of heaven is exactly what it is.

Sana'a Yemen, this looks just magical to me. you got to love it.

La defense Paris...In my last visit in Paris i spent more time in the La Defense than the city itself:runaway:
http://images.metroscenes.com/images...nes.com_32.jpg |
^^why? La defense is a nice skyline but it's like a smaller dt Houston or LA in the middle of a great old city. It's just a bunch of office towers...It is looking up though.
