Awesome videos of each of these cities. The Detroit one is eye opening to the urban outline the city already has in place and has had in place for well near a century now. Chicago, as always, visually looks stunning and like a massive city outright -- absolutely love the illuminating lights along the street-grid when the sun goes down. Spectacular Chicago. San Francisco in general is beautiful, drone video or no drone video, that is what it always is and has been.
Share drone videos or aerial videos and/or time lapses of your city if you want. If not, make comments or statements about the three cities in the videos above in this post.
Did you know that the Wells Fargo Center Tower, when viewed from up top in the air is shaped like a dollar ($) sign on purpose? Some things, like this tower for example, you can only view from the air and understand why architects built it to be the way it is. It's neat.
That and it's teal color and supertall height (over 300 meters) make it stick out. I like it more than Houston's other supertall, the J.P. Morgan Chase Tower which is 5-sided and taller but not as special.
Chicago and Washington, D.C., two other cities I have lived in are decked out with plenty of terrace gardens and/or roof gardens. It's spectacular when you get a view from a higher area and see that, especially when you see people up there going about their day. Dallas and Miami, another two cities I lived in are major pool cities. I would say probably after Las Vegas, on a per capita basis, it feels and seems like it has the most swimming pools atop skyscrapers and midrises in the core of the city from anywhere else I've seen in the country. Austin, where I spent 4 years for undergraduate, has a spectacular transition from its skyline cityscape straight into the hills of West Austin almost a quarter mile after leaving Downtown. In drone aerial videos, the topographical features look even more pronounced than at street level, look spectacular.
Here are two newer videos of philly. I would like someone to try to do a shoot for shot copy of the first video in like 3 years to see the differences.
Really nice videos, I really wish they would have done something different for Detroit other than focusing so much on abandon buildings and little regard to the real landmarks and more interesting places, typical.
