HX_Guy, your photography skills have always been good... now they are absolutely superb! Your 2nd and 7th photos in particular are wall calendar quality.

I know downtown Phoenix is a .... downtown ...., but one thing it could really use is more trees and greenery and shade, if there was somehow room to incorporate more landscaping between the buildings (not to mention the rooftops). That second to last picture with the palm trees hints at what downtown could potentially look more like down the road.

This is my favorite one, it should be sold as a poster! Pittsburgh is always saying how gorgeous the skyline is there (especially at night, and grant it, it is at night.) but this photo would give them a run for their money! Great job. *sigh* I Phoenix it so much...

Those pictures look GREAT! They almost make downtown Phx look nice! I've always thought Phx had the ugliest downtown ever, but if I only look at these pics then I may change my mind!

Eh...Scottsdale really doesn't do anything for me, it's too suburban. Biltmore, same thing.

Great pics, but it certainly doesn't look like the epicenter of what, 4 Million people?

Looks like Boise.

Beautiful pictures!

I always thought the skyline stretching from "midtown" south to downtown was gorgeous. It has the "base" for a strong future skyline, anyway. When driving down Squaw Peak, it's a gorgeous and much longer skyline....Phoenix in 10 years will be drastically different I bet....think Atlanta's skyline stretching from Midtown to Downtown.

Wow, beautiful pictures, I'm anxious to see what downtown Phoenix will look like in 10 years with all the proposed high rises.
