Not quite a dozen... but certainly a handful. And one proposal would be the tallest in New York State outside of NYC, surpassing Empire State Plaza in Albany.

New Rochelle, Yonkers, Stamford and White Plains (and maybe Mount Vernon), in the coming years, are likely going to have really impressive skyline profiles. Port Chester and Norwalk will have sizable midrise profiles.

It's surprising that these places don't have fairly impressive skylines already. You'd think that transit-oriented development and little downtowns that are there would've been developed more extensively by now, like Jersey City, since they are so close to the city.

Downtown Austin from the suburb of Elgin, ~23 miles to the east. The recently topped out 874' Sixth x Guadalupe tower is visible.

Amarillo Texas can be seen for a very long way thanks to the flat land to the south and the increasing elevation to the north, and the 374' FirstBank Southwest Tower.

Here's a view from about 20 miles as shot by me from a moving vehicle.

Nice to see Amarillo on here! How much did you zoom in on that?

Probably not much. I’ve seen the Amarillo skyline from almost double that distance.

Some of NYC from a far and also displaying the many skyline nodes.

All recent, within last 30 days approximately.

Skyline from the northwest above Lake Austin at a much closer ~10 miles. Both pics capture the topography of the heavily wooded Texas Hill Country.





Taken by me late last year.

^ Oh oh oh!!!

The classic shot, now with 1000M!

A mighty and much-needed gap filler at all scales.

The lighting, humidity, wind made for a perfect shot. Looks like there's relatively little post work done on it as well.

A bit of info about this view:
The Boise River flows through the city and is a major tributary of the Snake River, which is the largest tributary of the Columbia River.

The Snake River and Canyon are south of the city near the Owyhee Mountains in the backdrop.

A few extinct volcanoes dot the misty landscape. It had been raining earlier in the day.

The Native Tribes referred to this valley as The Peace Valley. It was their sacred gathering place.

nice!

if that's near Bogus, i'm guessing it's about 12-13 miles from downtown as the crow flies, plus about 4,000 vertical feet higher?

Not the highest quality shot (pretty hazy and just my phone camera), but here's Chicago from Gary's Marquette Park Beach taken this afternoon. 26 miles across the water.

The ship on the left is American Integrity, a thousand-footer ore boat that had just pulled out of US Steel's Gary Works, on its way up to lake superior to pick up another load of taconite.

Moving van companies reporting, and various outlets estimating N.Y.C losing hundreds of thousands of populations since 2020, is very doubtful. The far-off views of a transformed Brooklyn and Jersey City are fantastic.

Seems like Willis Tower will always be king of Chicago.
