I love how from above, Phoenix blends in real nicely with the desert and everything. Wikipedia has a nice picture. It's beautiful and I love the mountains and everything, there is nothing like that here in Minnesota.

OK, I'd say nice attempt ... however, it really doesn't give much of an impression of what Phoenix is like. It looks like a cluster of tiny buildings centered in an ocean of jagged hills & rocks. We need HX Guy, Homlish, or the ABQ poster to come back and post their various Phoenix scenes that really show the different sides of the city.

Yes it looks great in that small picture. I also like how it looks from atop Camelback Mtn!

That's a great picture but I still think Phoenix needs more skyscrapers!

You know, I agree, the tallest skyscraper is only 483 feet, whcih is kinda pathetic for the countrys 5th largest city

Why?

There certainly is not a need for taller than what has been developed.
