I’ve personally seen the skyscrapers from the Omni at Amelia Island on the top floor, about 20 miles away. You can even see the airport from the top floor, about 14-15 miles out on a clear night.
Right by Walmart, near the High Plain St. intersection. It’s visible from a lot of the Gillette lots and some parts of the stadium in nearby Foxboro too. But not on street view.
Yep, I remember seeing it quite clearly from Crowders! When I lived in Western NC, we were able to see the Charlotte skyline from much further away than expected. I've personally seen it from Pilot Mountain, many overlooks from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and even on clear Fall days on Grandfather Mtn. and Mount Mitchell- which is 100 miles as the crow flies! The long distance view that we were able to see the most often, though, was from South Mountain SP, about 55 miles away.
Of course, the creative challenge of this thread is to find a view that shows up on Google Maps, so I'm still searching for mountain views of CLT that show up there....I'll post one if I find one!
Excellent article! Thanks. Yeah, I tried to find some Google views, but couldn't find any myself that were any good. Wow, you mentioned some great vantage points that I'm going to have to check out.
I got another one from the Causeway coming from Mandeville. A little blurry, but you can see the city to the left looking back from the northbound lanes. That one is 21 miles out from the city center.
Here’s an interesting shot from the Dumbarton Bridge over San Francisco Bay, where you can see SF at 25 miles out, as well as Oakland (~22 mi out) and San Jose at ~17 miles.
You can see the Downtown Miami skyline from the Lehman Causeway in Aventura 20 miles away. It's barely visible on streetview but in real life it's easy to see https://goo.gl/maps/2txBfvu3uwRTZE2h7
