Skyline Competition 2: Los Angeles vs. Atlanta
As with the first skyline competition, which of the two city skylines, Los Angeles (CA) or Atlanta (GA), do you feel is most impressive in overall qualities (natrual setting, color, shape of buildings, variety of architecture, etc.). Again, this is purely a skyline competition and not a "my city is better than yours" kinda of thread. Please post pics if possible.

Your making it seem like I hate Atlanta's skyline when I really don't haha.
But LA wins this for me as far as natural setting,color,buildings just everything.

Yes but when can you ever see the mountains in LA? I lived in San Diego for 5 years and the only time I saw them was in pictures. To be honost I did not even know you could see them from downtown till I was on here and saw the picture.

I think LA has one of the best natural settings of any skyline with the tall mountains in the background, especially when there is snow on them.

You can see them most days, they are not that far from Downtown, something like less than 20 miles as the crow flies. Nearly everytime I go to LA I've been able to see them. Summer is hazy and smoggy but the rest of the year its much clearer. |
