Great shot of Shreveport's twin city!!

Huh? I don't remember posting a photo of Lake Charles...

Not even a comparison!

Any guesses on this one?

Nice job Brian.

Fort Wayne used to be a large enough market way back to have an ABA Basketball team.

Look at that freeway! It's so high it looks like it's floating in the air.

It looks like an extremely modern design to me. It's very curvy and fluid, and you're right... it looks REALLY high!

[richyb83]

You are right Dan.

That bridge does look incredible the way it floats up and then turns. Hope it's earthquake proof, would not want to be up on that thing if that happened.

Here's another building battle, a battle between the new and the newer.

I like this first tower, so when I figured out there was going to be a second I was very excited and I finally found the renderings.

Floors:82

Ocean Heights 2

I prefer #2.

Where are these to be located?

[richyb83]

The images do not show up.

[dan326]

They are located in Dubai.

Sorry about that. I don't know what happened,so I just got some new pictures.

I think I like the first one the best.

Tulsa for me, hands down. OKC is a larger city, but the skyline just doesn't do anything for me.

[richyb83]

Nice photo's of OKC's skyline. It actually looks better than I thought; and compact too. However the numbers don't lie, Tulsa has twice as many 400ft.+ than OKC. Tulsa has some tall buildings, they win for me too.

I think that last photo of OKC really helps it. It seems to be very pretty at night, but the same goes for Tulsa.

[SlidellWX]

Tulsa is a much more striking skyline while driving on I-44.

[Rardy]

Tulsa's is nice, no doubt. I guess I'm an underdog sympathizer, though. OKC for me

A pretty cool aerial of downtown New Orleans and the surrounding area:

And if you don't think this is an amazingly awesome photo of downtown Houston, you need to; 1) stop it, and 2) get out of here.

Oh HELL no, man, that is the ultimate city photo... period. That's just awesome.

I agree with Nate's comments above...

[dan326]

That is pretty awesome. The buildings are just so big!

The buildings?

Uh yeah, those are really big and nice and all, but did you notice anything else awesome about that photo?

[dan326]

The planes add a nice touch, but they kind of seem pasted on.

Definitely not. Looks like the photographer was part of that flight formation. That is a real photograph of F-16s flying over Houston.
