What a wonderfully varied collection of skylines, Amboseli. I especially like the cool white houses of Spain.

Fabulous skylines, but of course some of them were technically "landscapes" (which also has a thread). It is just a language nuance -- skylines now usually refer to cities and landscapes refer to less populated areas. But don't worry, amboseli -- you made no error because any photo that shows the horizon is a skyline. And for that very reason, I would have been tormented about where to put that wonderful next-to-last photo with the white village, but at least you didn't have that problem.  |

Well, it is clear that English is not my first language. Thanks for clarifying 'skyline', kerouac.

Yes, I figured that it was a translation problem. I don't understand English sometimes either.  |

I think we all have exactly the same photo from the peak at Hong Kong.  |

Hope this comes out OK. Tried to find the panoramas thread but Anyport doesn't know it.  |

Taken from Tour Montparnasse?

Yes. It makes a superb viewing point and I was lucky enough to go there on a nice day with good visibility. That is an assemblage of several photos done a few years back.

I've never been up to the top. One day I'll have to give it a try.

Thanks! It's taken from the sea, that is somewhat from a different angle.

The foreman setting out the job on that twisted tower on the right must have had nightmares.

From Wiki: Upon its opening on 10 June 2013, the tower has become world's tallest (*) high rise building with a twist of 90 degrees.
(*) tallest ... we're in Dubai, right?!

Re-opening this old thread, we have a different form of skyline here. The main airway to the east passes over us.  I noticed this one showing a decaying contrail, which reminds me that swirl is because the exhaust is flung out by a rapidly rotating fan  |
