    This city has such an amazing skyline. The iconic buildings do not disapoint especially in the evening and when there is good weather.

    A beautiful skyline - such interesting architecture and history; try to find a descriptor of the buildings - makes it much more interesting - for example, the champagne building!

    I have traveled extensively. This skyline is top of the list in America. Nice to photograph even on a rainy day.
