Skyline Pictures

[QuantumX]

There are 8 buildings in this row over 500 feet tall. There are two over 600 feet tall currently under construction. You can barely make out the cranes in the photo. There is another over 600 feet tall that was just aproved. The height limit here I believe is 650 feet due to the proximity of Opa-Locka airport.

^^^Posting same pic twice? It sounded more like AustinLee was poking fun at that ridiculous scene of tacky highrises filled with Russian Oligarchs (being that it's Sunny Isles), LoL. You should capture a couple of pics of Acqualina, which is slightly visible with orance stucco facade and orange roof (I actually like the clean designs of the Trump towers, but that's about it).

That driveway etc. sure wastes a lot of land.

I'm pretty proud of taking this shot

Downtown Houston, from the other side. You know the one that actually has more than 10 buildings.

Well, at least I didn't post the same pic on the same page. Oh, is that what AustinLee was doing? I hadn't noticed! Acquelina is one building, BTW. Not a skyline pic.

That section of Collins Ave in Sunny Isles Beach always reminds me of Sheikh Zayad Road in Dubai for some reason with the single row of packed in residential towers.

That is one of the best pics I've seen of Downtown Houston! Love it.

toronto is that annoying kid who was good at sports and academics, yet wasn't a jerk. its also very photogenic!!

I don't know. That's basically the general style of the area.

Here's a shot of Miami northward.

And what would you consider a wonderful opportunity found? When I've asked people this type of question in the past, I've usually found their taste to be even more dreadful.

It's the tropical palette. It's just the way that it is here.
