Definitely the Bronx, NY

So gritty, and so real:

I agree, daniel01, the skylines of Austrailia are some of the best in the world!

How about Melbourne?

...Or Brisbane?  (I'm still not sure if this shot is even real!):

Sydney, of course:

Sydney14.jpg

and Perth:

Perth3.jpg

And then I also like Singapore:

And Pittsburgh's has the best skyline in America, I think:

But my all time favorite skyline, with my all-time favorite building (BofCT), and the place that I would most like to go out of any place on Earth, is, of course:

HongKong.jpg

Wow, some great skylines! After reading this thread I've come to the conclusion there is no 1 best skyline. There are just too many great ones.

I think that in order to properly deal with this issue you have to divide them into categories. I don't think one can compare Manhattan to Houston or London because they are all just so different. Below are some of my favourites.

**warning, alot of these pics are very large**

I'll start off with cities that are just mindboggling from the number of towers

New York City

    -panorama

    -midtown

    -downtown

Hong Kong

Chicago

Sao Paulo

to name a few

Next cities with defined skylines. I personally prefer this style.

Calgary (I've shown the pic for this one because this is my favourite calgarycn8.jpg

Atlanta

Houston

Los Angeles

Dallas

are great examples of this type

Finally, theres the inbetweeny downtown. ahah

Toronto

San Francisco

Ahh, well that was fun! gotta love good skylines!

Nice skylines (plus points to the "at night" shots). Here are two of my favorites: the Makati and Mandaluyong skylines. Betcha' most of you haven't heard of these places yet. Here are some pics of urban Philippines. Enjoy! (first pic is Makati, then Mandaluyong)

There are many outstanding skylines all over the world. Houston, Sydney and Chicago are some of my favorites. But, in my opinion, this may be one of the most beautiful pictures ever photograped, by one of the greatest--Ansel Admes.
