I couldn't even tell what city that was lol, if you hadn't said Houston I would have thought it was denver or Phoenix..it looks pretty bland I think. It needs a signature building or structure. And if you squint out of one eye from far back it looks like LA in the second pic.
I agree with you. Now that i think about it, the second pic does sorta resemble LA...

Denver or Phoenix?
That's a put down to Houston.
Neither one of those cities has a skyline even remotely as massive as Houston's.
To put it into perspective, Denver's 1st tallest is as tall as Houston's 10th tallest.

Yes but those images were not great ones for Houston, honestly just the DT of Houston is kind of boring from those vantage points. There are far better perspectives for Houston and dont think those images were it. Houston is better in person though still very spread but that is part of the allure.
Also Massive is how you describe Chicago or NYC, not Houston. Houston is not massive in any reagrd quite honestly.

I actually though it was Denver for a second too, before realizing it was Houston. Those shots don't really do the skyline justice, as they only include the downtown portion of it.
Found a new fave off of flickr. Showing you the depth and density of SF's skyline

BS
Any city that has 4 buildings in the 1,000' range is considered massive in every sense of the word I don't care what anyone says.
Houston's skyline/s may be spread out, but the city is a monster.
You can literally look in any direction within a 600 square mile area & see a skyscraper or skyline of some sort off in the distance .
In Houston, its not unusual to have a 500' skyscraper as the backdrop of your backyard vs. a place like NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, or Philly where every tall building in the city is centralized in one densely packed urban core. That is the allure of Houston (to me anyways). The skylines are as sporadic as the people who live there.

Agree on the difference at the end of the post but no way is Houston Massive. It looks nothing nothing like the massive skylines of Chicago or NYC, why because they are massive Houston is not, sorry
