Post your city's skyline here!

[HEyHEY]

Vancouver, BC (And for the exteremly daft) Canada

[AspenRose]

1. *sigh* I love Canada.

.

[bluesbassman]

100. Deleted.

Reposted in correct order, didn't mean to jump the line!

[terrya]

2. Here's my city's skyline.

One of the most beauitful skylines in the world, imo.

[HEyHEY]

12. Yeah, but only cause you have REAL artictechs.

[terrya]

22. Well...Donald Trump's latest compensation for his small penis...

is just about completed where the old Chicago Sun-Times building used to be. Said new building is tall...and extremely bland. It would be nice to see some new, interesting looking buildings in this city again.

So, that's what's new in Chicago architecture these days.

[Blue-Jay]

45. Construction has begun on the Chicago Spire.

It's a neat idea, but the thing still looks like a drill bit to me.

Artist's rendition:

[terrya]

48. The world's tallest drill bit.

Well, you're right...that is, interesting, I guess.

[HEyHEY]

52. sweet! - You guys are lucky

This it the best the no-talent hacks out in my city can come up with
"Shangri-la" Original name, douche fucks. This it the big project in the city right now.




This one starts soon, at least it shows a little effort.

[HEyHEY]

63. Still my favourite building ever - in Seoul

SOOOO Cool!

[Brigid]

69. I'm sure the jokes are already floating around Chicago.

I can just hear them.

[CreekDog]

164. OMG

:wtf:

[Patiod]

89. One of my girlfriends built the tall building in the background

She was the lead engineer or project manager or whatever you call it (the person who decides when the elevators go it, when the electrical gets done, when the marble gets put up, etc. She oversaw the construction company, and made sure everything got done on time and to spec.)

I got to see it go up from hole in the ground to capping off, and got to go up in it on a "hard hat" tour.

I just love the constrast of the old buildings at street level and the skyscraper on top.

(Note - Sorry - posted to the wrong part of the conversation - should have posted to the OP)

[grace0418]

95. Beautiful! Mine too. If you keep going northwest from this photo you'd get to my house.

It's a beautiful city when the weather is fine.

[ronnykmarshall]

172. I LOVE Chicago!

Chicago! Chicago, that toddlin' town!

[KitchenWitch]

3. Here is my current city's skyline

Here is where I used to live before

[Brigid]

29. Ah, Indianapolis!

I lived there for a number of years -- I really ought to move back. I liked it there. :)

[KitchenWitch]

47. First photo is Irvine CA, second photo is Minneapolis MN

[Brigid]

56. !!!

I could swear that second one looks just like Indianapolis!

[CreekDog]

165. Irvine has a skyline?

will wonders never cease? :wtf:

[KitchenWitch]

170. There is a smallish skyline near the airport.

:rofl:

Think about it though. Los Angeles' skyline is really weak, considering that LA is over 4 million people.

Here is Los Angeles

[Pierre.Suave]

103. Hey you

stealing my Minneapolis Skyline thunder.

here is a different pic of Minneapolis.

[KitchenWitch]

109. All your Minneapolis skyline are belong to me.

:D

[Pierre.Suave]

111. Says the woman that lives in California...

I say, come and get it...

:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

112. Con mucho gusto.

[Pierre.Suave]

there just may be a Twins game in it for you...

:P

[KitchenWitch]

118. I could live with that!

:D

[Pierre.Suave]

121. I thought so

:P

[Twillig]

125. I like this one because the multifoods tower isn't visible in the picture.

Or whatever name they call it now. Ugly, ugly building.

[Pierre.Suave]

138. Multifoods tower?

now you lost me somewhere...

Where in Minneapolis is the multifoods tower?

[Pierre.Suave]

143. Never mind

I found it via teh google.

I had no idea that 33 South Sixth was the MultiFoods Tower.

[DBoon]

146. do I see some UCI buildings in that picture?

spoken as a former anteater....

[KitchenWitch]

169. Probably

I did not take the photos but it looks like it may have been taken on Jamboree near the 73

[dolo amber]

4. Vancouver is in Washington

Idiot. :eyes:

[HEyHEY]

73. Remember, there is a large fault line up that side of the nation

[MrCoffee]

5. Home and Now

[tigereye]

33. I love the Seattle skyline

I miss Seattle. Haven't been there in a while.

[txwhitedove]

158. Houston, love it! Agreed.

[Burma Jones]

6. Okey Dokey

[JeffR]

7. Here goes:

Bet you'll never recognize it.

[terrya]

9. I do!

It's my home away from home. :-)

I did the touristy thing a year ago and went up to the CN Tower. Pretty nice view.

[HEyHEY]

Oh yeah, that city with the big falic thingy

[tigereye]

38. another lovely city with a great tower...

I've been up there! But not in quite a few years. And now we need passports.... :(

[MrScorpio]

57. I saw Niagra Falls from the top of the puppy once

It was a nice clear day

[rockymountaindem]

101. Oh God I miss Toronto every day

Why... why does it have to be in a foreign country???

[Rosie1223]

8. Not exactly a city....

[MrScorpio]

10. Detroit - Home, sweet home

[WannaBeGrumpy]

161. woohoo

that's the place to be!

[DS1]

11. Best I can do

[HEyHEY]

16. Fuck, I wanna see Boston

Gotta go sometime.

[DS1]

18. A Boston skyline I could have found in a flash

This is a seaport/fishing/tourist town further north, not unlike Gloucester which is the more commonly known version.

[tigereye]

41. funny, it looks like Dublin...

guess that's not really a surprise, though...


Haven't seen the New England relatives in a while, either.



Sheesh. I haven't been much of anywhere except SF and Chicago lately. Although there is nothing wrong with either one!

[yellowdogintexas]

13. Fort Worth Texas

but not at night when it is at its prettiest



here is a different one:

[CreekDog]

14. Frisco

:hide:

[HEyHEY]

17. Whoa, it'a all purple there

[Greyskye]

59. You better hide!

Using that name for S.F. :spank:


;)

[Duncan Grant]

92. How about a view from the other side of the bridge?

[CreekDog]

94. ah, Dolores Park

spent a few sunny Saturdays there. last time, there was a couple that was applying sunscreen quite erotically to each other --get a room! :eyes:

[Duncan Grant]

160. I love that one can find straight and gay couples together at this park.

I live close to this park and have never seen "erotic" behavior. I have seen (what seems to me) "normal" expressions of affection and tenderness. Sometimes when one sees LGBT couples behaving like straight couples it's wrongly labeled as "erotic" behavior. I hope that's not the case in this instance.

[CreekDog]

166. i grew up here, i don't react any differently

this was over the top and i've seen this sort of thing before here.

truth be told, it took me a while to remember if it was a gay or straight couple.

[ronnykmarshall]

174. Oh memories I have of Dolo Park.

Boyz, boyz, boyz!!! I used to shop there often.

[ronnykmarshall]

173. You went there didn't you?

[HEyHEY]

27. either way, it looks fast

[JVS]

19. Vancouver, Canada

Nobody gives a shit about the Canadian province system, dude.

[HEyHEY]

21. We do. And we count cause we're bigger and on top - the USA is our bitch

[DS1]

30. Not if we're doing reverse cowgirl

[JVS]

37. Your country sucks so bad that you all live on the border so that you can be near civilization

[HEyHEY]

46. You're just jealous because we have more barren wasteland than you

[JVS]

49. You really shouldn't brag about your mom's reproductive system like that

[rockymountaindem]

102. This may be the best flame on DU ever

My last apt in SF had a great view. Thank god! I was going through a bitter break up and had the roomate from hell.

with this in the forground

[ronnykmarshall]

176. I love days like that.

My bank used to have ATM cards with skyline pictured based on where your account was held. The LA one was like that picture.

[LeftinOH]

79. Mine (a lesser-known view):

[johnnie]

85. Very cool view

Lived here for 44 years and don't think I've seen that view of it before.

[PermanentRevolution]

80. Here's mine...

Not my picture, though... shamelessly stolen from a Google image search.

[Breeze54]

84. Look at all the tall buildings where I live!!!!

:P

[1gobluedem]

86. Skyline High School

Oddly named because Ann Arbor doesn't really have a skyline to speak of...

[Initech]

87. Here's mine:

[tandot]

88. Sacramento, CA:

[Patiod]

90. Here's one of Philadelphia

[Eurobabe]

154. Horray!! It's the Comc--ASSED penis!!

You made my day. :rofl:

[Patiod]

156. I watched it go up

and block the sun from large swatches of the city. I used to work in one of the buildings in the picture.

[Eurobabe]

183. Yeah an now Comc-ASSED is crying the blues

those bad downloaders sucking up all their bandwidth :nopity: :mad:

[KitchenWitch]

180. I see they got rid of that pesky "no buildings taller then Wm Penn's feet" Law!

:D

[Patiod]

191. took them long enough!

[grace0418]

sometime midnight and 2 ayem, nighttime exposure. It was also frakin' cold out there! :P





Now that I have a nice and dense neutral density filter, I'm going to have to try that shot again. It's looking ffom the top of the Houston Police Officers' Memorial to the southeast. It's one of the best vantage points in the city for skyline pics, other than from Allen Parkway along Buffalo Bayou :)

[Fox Mulder]

126. St. Paul, MN:

It's not my city. My city is too small to have a skyline. But this is the city in which I was born. I love it. Especially at night. I love it when the 1st Bank Building is lit up. It reminds me of my childhood. I used to see the 1st Bank Building from the second floor of my grandpa's house.

Sigh.

[Eurobabe]

182. the Emerald PIZZA??

:rofl: :rofl: wow, in honor of DU.

[alfredo]

149. I don't have a skyline. I'm a Morlock, I live underground. I only

holy smokes, that makes the empire state building look puny.

[NewJeffCT]

187. my town doesn't have a skyline

population around 16,000, I don't think we have a building over 3 stories tall... there are trees in town taller than any building.

[Richardo]

188. Houston (now) and Pittsburgh (hometown)

[DFW]

And our little suburb, where some guy built this in our back yard about
