I think they make a nice backdrop for a skyline and a pretty setting, but I think of the skyline as the collection of buildings. Besides, the mountains, ocean, lakes etc, aren't visible from every angle the skyline is.

I just think we should keep it fair as not every city has such a pretty setting as Vancouver, that's all.
