skyline

Tag details

A skyline refers to the panoramic view of tall buildings and skyscrapers in the world's greatest cities seen from a distance, and especially when these man-made monuments are all lit up against a night sky. Some of the most beautiful skylines in America can be seen in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and of course New York City.

The beauty of the Seattle skyline comes down to the uniqueness of iconic structures like the Space Needle, which is still a futuristic looking spectacle nearly fifty years after it was built. With the city by the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge is still a sight to behold, especially when framed against the Harbor Lights.

New York City of course remains in a class all its own — where both the bridges and the iconic structures are covered. You don't find man-made buildings any more famous than Lady Liberty, after all. Interestingly, all three of these great cities also have a close proximity to water, making the sparkling lights of their skyline glisten all that much more.

Some of the world's other great skylines are found in cities like Chicago, Sydney, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Paris and Rio De Janeiro. You'll find bloggers taking in the view of the skyline at sites like Chicago Tribune Cityscapes and Skyline Online.
