Travelling by car, west down Old Wareham Rd, Poole in Dorset, England; at sunset, in winter. You have Poole Bay, Hamworthy peninsula, more Poole Bay and beyond those the Purbeck Hills, a series of three mis-matched ridges one behind the other. Together with sunsets that could put a desert-sunscape to shame, all on an amazingly human scale - fantastic! Only visible while travelling down a hundred yard stretch of the gentle slope: briefly glimpsed, always different, never forgotten.

The train journey through the North East of England has some pretty great man made views. Cathedrals in York and Durham; the angel of the north and the view down the river in Newcastle/Gateshead with all the bridges especially the new millenium bridge and the Sage concert hall on the bank next to it.

I like the realto tower Melbourne. The base is a combination of 2 of the oldest buildings in melbourne (Australia) combined into one building and connected to the largest skyscraper in the city. Beautiful walking in the hotel and seeing the old hotels exterior in the interior.

Driving down Penylan hill- stopped at the traffic lights you see the whole of Cardiff- the curve of the bay on the left and the lovely mix of old and new buildings on the right. Best viewed at about % o'clock in the evening after a long hard day's work!

Skyline definitely but any without any man-made rubbish spoiling it There's not many places left so I have to say the view out to sea from my hometown

I like Chicago's for the sheer beauty and I like St. Louis' for it's architecture.
BTW amazingone, the Sears Tower isn't the tallest in the world anymore. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and Taipei 101 in Taipei are all taller than the Sears Tower.

the Hancock building in Chicago
when I was little I remember going to the construction site with my dad, and him reading about it in the news paper
there used to be a bank in Chicago that had the skyline on their checks and you signed on navy pier, but that bank is called something else now and different checks
