Two Skylines In One Shot???? - Page 8

natethegreatforlife · #**141** Posted **Jul 14, 2012, 6:04 AM**

Is there a shot of Bridgeport and New Haven??? They are only about 15 miles apart as the crow flies. And this may be a little unrealistic but how about Providence and Boston???

Here are some cool views of Clayton and St. Louis:

This is by Third Eye Indigo Photography on Flickr. The downtown skyline is in the middle about 4 miles back.

similar view, same photographer, more zoomed on downtown.

I'm basically allergic to shopping of any kind. Sorry about the misunderstanding; I can't imagine how much money the MOA pumps into the Twin Cities economy.

As for the New York/Philly pano, it will be a couple years before I'm back to New York, but if I have a nice camera with me I'll see if a helicopter pilot is willing to fly close enough to get Philly in good focus.

Heres an aerial showing a few clusters of Toronto:

Downtown obviously.
The leftmost one, north of the two other clusters is Yonge and Eglinton (which is getting a 200+m building

)
The small one directly south of that is Yonge and Davisville
and south of that one is Yonge and St. Clair.
Going south is Yorkville which is essentially connected to downtown skyline wise.
Near the top right corner is Thorncliffe Park
and you if you look closely right at the top left corner you can see a few buildings east of North York's main skyline.

it would be awesome if this photo was more zoomed out or taken from even higher up as North York and Scarborough would both be fully visible; maybe even Etobicoke and Markham.

That's actually Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park. Don Mills is mid-rise, so not much of a skyline. And of course both Flemingdon Park and Don Mills are (were) part of North York's east end as well. Thorncliffe Park is located in former East York.

Thanks for clarifying.
I think i found the North York buildings on maps at highway401 and Bayview.
They were east of North York's main cluster so I automatically called the area its 'east end'

Not the best one, and yes I know it is separated by just a river and less than 5 km, but here's a partial downtown Ottawa and Gatineau skyline shot (which does includes the Peace Tower) I've took back in 2011. Though probably this is an area, where you can stuck several skylines in one shot, due to the fact in especially in Ottawa, buildings are built up in all over the places in several separate clusters. I thought there would have been a bunch posted here, but I think I'm the first one to post a shot in this thread.

Actually, Don Mills has a small cluster of '60s commercial buildings that edge into highrise territory (12+ floors). There's the Foresters building, which is about 25 floors, ICICI Bank, and DeBeers Canada. Also, there's a cluster of residential highrises on Wynford Dr.

A lot of people see the grain elevators and think those are our downtown, but no, this is clearly a low-rise city.

Beedok · #**151** Posted **Jul 21, 2013, 10:59 PM**

Those elevator clumps are extra skylines. Also Lakehead has a bit of a mini one.

Oklahoma City which has the foreground clump of buildings several miles northwest I believe of downtown

cabasse · #**154** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 5:19 PM**

okc in the background, not sure what's in the foreground.

BnaBreaker · #**155** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 5:20 PM**

They are both Oklahoma City. There is a small cluster of mid-rises on the north side of town by a lake.

Thanks Dralcoffin & Cabasse! It's funny, because I'm pretty sure there's a rounded tower in Tulsa that resembles the one in the OK City photo.

We're like long-lost twins! I have the same reaction to shopping (and my wife is a shop-aholic)!!

I didn't know OKC rested near a large body of water......of is that a reservoir?
