I was wondering if there were any pictures of the skyline seen from really far away. In specific, I would want to see the skyline seen from Boyertown (Berks County), Easton (Northampton County), Kutztown (Berks County), and places as far away as Lancaster, PA, Dover, DE, and Tamaqua, PA.

Wow. Did these faraway pictures make it to the "How far away can you see your skyline" thread in the general forum?

I don't have a picture of it, unfortunately, but when I was in a hot air balloon in Chester County near Marsh Creek, Philadelphia's skyline looked like the Emerald City off in the distance. It was VERY cool!!

Apple Pie Hill. It looks like the city is in the middle of a pine forest.

I would never be able to stop and snap a good picture, but the skyline is visible from about as far as Mile 44 on the Northeast Extension (I-476). I lived in the Lehigh Valley for 3 years and briefly attended Lehigh University to conduct research, and I have never been able to spot the skyline from Easton. I couldn't even see it atop South Mountain in Bethlehem.
