Atlanta's Skylines from Mount Wilkinson

I agree

How many miles out are you when you took those shots?

Atlanta's stretch of skyline from some vantage points reminds me alot of that of Manhattan when approaching NYC from New Jersey. The Boa tower could easily pass for what the Empire State Building is for NYC. Nice pics, you should save those for the future when there are alot more tower in the skyline for comparison.

I agree...and I can't wait to see that same view in a few years as multiple mixed-use and residential towers of the 20- to 40-story variety are either proposed are already under construction in the "gap" between Bank of America and One Atlantic Center.

Nice Skyline! I always thought it was a little denser though.

That photo is capturing the primarily north-south axis of the midtown and downtown skylines, a distance of approximately three miles (in the third pic). Those skylines taken from either a north or south perspective would appear much denser. However, as everyone knows, Atlanta is the nation's least dense large metro.
