Here's a list of most impressive/greatest skylines with Toronto on 13th place http://ellidavis.com/toronto-real-estate-news/2013/05/torontos-impressive-skyline
I was kind of surprised that there is only one European city (Moscow). I thought that with all the history and development there would be more cities of the old continent. On the other hand, with all the photos and facts you guys are posting here about Asian (Chinese in particular) cities, I am not surprised that so many of them made it into the list.
What is your personal favourite that didn't made it into the list?

I posted this pic in the highway thread also but I'm sure a lot of people doesn't visit it.

If you ever wondered why Toronto has so god damn many high rises compared to just about any other place on the continent this is one reason why....suburban Toronto.

Toronto is such an unapologetic BEAST! I don't think downtown can even be seen here.

That's pretty insane. Thanks for a glimpse of a vast area of the GTA we don't see very often!

The moment you enter suburban Toronto, in every direction you look you are staring at tons of highrises. All of them are concrete apartment towers, or nearly all of them.

Not to play Devil's advocate here, but it seems that whenever a pic of Toronto's skyline is posted, one of Montreal shows up immediately after (: ..Just sayin' ..Great shots of both cities btw, and thanks for the link showing the world's skylines.. The 13th best showing for T.O is nothing to sneeze at no matter whatever source it's taken from.

Seems like a fairly decent list accept for Singapore, which I can't see how it's much (any?) bigger or better than several skylines it's ahead of (including Toronto).

The skyline with Calgary's beautiful, brand new Poppy Plaza at Memorial Park.

I took these shots around Vancouver friday. I'm loving the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S4.
