I'm not sure if this considered suburban since the bulk of this skyline is 5 miles west of Downtown Houston. This is referred to Uptown or Galleria area of Houston and starts about a quarter way through the picture from the left. Uptown is obviously a very linear skyline that borders an arterial street and highway. The cluster of buildings on the left is Greenway Plaza.
It's not a "full" skyline shot like the last 2 pictures I posted, it's just showing a section of the Brickell neighborhood in downtown Miami, you can see the Miami Metrorail in the picture as well.

FLAboy and I were having a nice, amicable exchange of opinions regarding Charlotte’s skyline and the mods deleted it. There was nothing confrontational about what I said to him. “That’s why I enjoy this forum; it’s interesting to hear other people’s opinions as it relates to my own” now what’s confrontational about that? FLAboy actually made a great point, larger doesn’t necessarily mean better and I agree with him. This forum may be a little too rated “G” for me if what I said to him is considered confrontational.
On another note, those are some GREAT shot's of my favorite vacation spot- Miami. The "stair-step" building as I call it normally illuminates in blue. Very pretty; that's also a great shot of Houston. After all, that's the city that I chose first so I know Houston's skyline is super expansive.

Yeah Houston's skyline is nice, I just think it's too spread out. Everybody has their own opinion though, like I've said before I would rather see more density.
I agree with Miami’s edge in density downtown but Houston is no slouch. They’re very close in my opinion. I would definitely place them ahead of the other cities.

Thats true, and Atlanta has a nice skyline too. It got all of those votes because of it's architecture, but it is not denser than Miami and it is not taller than Houston lol.

Agreed. As much as I love Atlanta’s skyline, I feel like Houston and Miami’s skylines are superior. Atlanta does have some great architecture though. The Georgia Pacific building in Atlanta has that similar stair-step design as the one in Miami. Atlanta’s is rose-granite so I think I like it better , but I like Miami's skyline better overall. Just a bit more to see IMO.
