Someone who has taken professional shots of Atlanta, preferably aerial, needs to display their pictures. This city has a few directions that can capture several different skylines. Cumberland/Galleria/Vinings, Perimeter/Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Midtown, Downtown, and more.
I guess it doesn't count since it was a pano, but some years ago someone did one featuring the downtown LA skyline along with three or four other skylines to its left. I have the pano saved on my computer, but can't post it since I don't know who originally took it
pm me if you wanna see it.
I'm pretty sure it was DaveofCali that took that photo several years ago.

As we speculated in that other thread, it would have to be taken prolly from a helicopter midway between the two cities, multiple photos stitched together but it would be the holy grail of American skyline shots.
This is Toronto, but it's from about 2001 years old (looks like 1 King W is u/c), so Humber Bay, Missississauga, Downtown and to a lesser degree, Scarborough, Midtown, North York and Etobicoke are missing a lot of buildings.

Mississauga is basically non existent there, and that would be before the current condo boom in the city. plus, the four seasons center is under construction.. so 2002 or 2003.
Yeah, if anyone has a more up to date panorama from the CN tower, please post it.
Mississauga is missing it's 7 tallest towers, although you can still see it, if you look beyond Humber Bay, and continue the QEW in a straight line (in reality, it curves), you'll see some high rises in the distance.
The Cityplace golf course hasn't been turned into a sea of condos yet either, and there at least a dozen 50 story towers missing in the Central Waterfront and Yonge/Bloor area. Not to mention Minto Midtown and the condos in Humber Bay.
Somebody once posted this fantastic photo of Niagara Falls (ONT) skyline, and way in the distance, sparkling, was the Toronto skyline.

i took a helicopter ride out of sayreville nj once (slightly southwest of staten island), and you could see philly on the horizon. as the crow flies, it was roughly 80 miles. impossible to get both philly and new york in the shot, though.
you can, however, stitch together a panorama that has both philadelphia and atlantic city. there's a fire tower on apple pie hill in the pine barrens that is exactly 32 miles from both philly and AC, and you can see both on a clear day.
Nowhere near as epic as some of these other shots, but here's Downtown and Midtown Phoenix taken from South Mountain (and a 737 on approach to PHX showing exactly why Downtown's height limit is 500'): Phoenix September 2008 059 by buckeyenative001, on Flickr
Yeah, that was the LA panorama. I remember seeing that. Sweet photo.
What about Denver? Are there any other city skylines that you can see? How far is Colorado Springs from Denver? Surely there has to be a view somewhere from the mountains. I have seen some incredible high up views of Denver from the mountains. There's one photo showing the whole city of Denver from a mountain in Golden, Colorado.

I don't think it's possible, Monument Hill is 9,000 feet or so and the entirety of Douglas County is much higher than Denver or Colorado Springs. You can how ever see the entire Front Range, from Pike's Peak to Long's Peak, from various spots in the area. From Green Mountain you can see clear across Denver.
