Friday Shootout: Skyline








http://mytownshootout.blogspot.com/

November 6 - Skylines by Kate
"My topic is up to bat this week and I picked Skylines. One of my favorite things to see when I go to a new city is the look of their skyline - and for me, skylines can be the look of a small-town Main Street or the giant buildings of a huge city's downtown or a field full of corn. What is the "skyline" that you think of when someone mentions your town?"

Two icons of Auckland stand out, our Harbour Bridge and our sky tower.

The Sky Tower is the highest building in the Southern Hemisphere, and can be seen in all the volcanic cones, and from the sea.

    It's almost like Spore isn't it, with so many tall buildings. I've been to Auckland once and hopefully will have a chance to visit it again in the future.

    I love it! The Sky Tower really stands out in the middle of a bunch of much shorter buildings.

    Wonderful skyline shapes. I'm really glad you posted early because I will probably be too busy tomorrow to look at lots of stuff.

    These skyline pictures are lovely. It is so wonderful to see all the boats. In Canada now all our boats are taken out of the water for the winter. A beautiful post today. Thank you Ann!

    Best Wishes, Barry and Linda

    that skinny thing that looks like a needle is a building? I am so impressed, would love to go and look out the top windows - wouldn't you? can you?
    and the water photos, was that a rowing competition? we have them on the lagoa also, am always saying this year I will take lessons, but never do cause I don't like to get wet.
    great post.

    I love all of your skyline photos. They are very pretty. I love all the boats.

    There are lots of things to do in LV besides gamble, but everyone seems so mesmerized by the casinos when on vacation that they forget about all the other things.

    But honestly, I don't think you're missing much by having opted out on the opportunity to come here.

    I love the harbor shots - there's something about sailboat masts.
