Atlanta has really nice skyscraper design. Most cities have a few buildings that stick out among a lot of generic skyscrapers, but Atlanta has a lot of skyscrapers that have very cool looking architecture, especially the rooftop design.
Atlanta also has multiple skylines and tons of trees.... in that one picture, it looks looks like there are forests in between the different districts, but that area is fully developed - there are houses under those trees.
After ainulinale posted those pics, I wanted to post some of LA, but realized that would be impossible. There are so many styles one can find throughout LA, in different neighborhoods, or even on the same block.
We have the Spanish adobe, the stucco Mediterranean, colonials, Victorians, beach shacks, modern concrete and glass, modern glass condos, old gothic condos, old Bank District buildings, ranch style homes, farm homes, tract homes, and probably more that I can't think of.
Areas around LAX still look exactly like this...of course the children look different. LOL.
FYI, the majority of these pics are in Beverly Hills, Hancock Park, and Pasadena. If you ever have time, please cruise through these neighborhoods and will be in awe at what you see. Trust me...every time I drive through I am in shock, especially Hancock Park. That is my favorite neighborhood of LA because of all the amazing architecture, from modern to tudor, from Spanish to Victorian, from classic bungalow to Italian Villa, and all other styles you can imagine.

Wow. That first is the single best pic I've seen of Atlanta's skyline. No joke. Thanks.

Great pics! I never knew LA had such interesting buildings. When most people think LA, I'd guess we think 50s generic, suburban housing for miles, but that's not the case. BTW, what is that SaMo Civic Center--that's fantastic. What kind of style?

In case you can't tell by SaMo having even their parking structures completely green, it is one of the most liberal cities in the country, comparable to Berkeley and SF.

Coolest parking lot I've ever seen.
