I have a great appreciation for city skylines across the world. I think that skylines are, not only the economic engines of urban regions where millions of people live, but also the trend setters of culture in the city.

Regarding judging a skyline, I think besides the skyline height, the most important aspect of skyline has to be how visible it is against a natural horizon.

People has different ideas to what skyline is best and which on should be number one. In the US, I can safely say that the top 10 skylines are as follows:

1. New York City
2. Chicago Skyline
3. Las Vegas
4. San Francisco
5. Seattle
6. Philadelphia
7. Pittsburgh
8. Atlanta
9. Boston
10. Dallas

I would say New York would have to be No. 1, but I'm rather partial to Chicago and it's twisting shoreline along Lake Michigan. It's just lovely.

I might add Los Angeles as No. 11 on this list.

My vote goes for Seattle! I love everything about Seattle...and mind you, it's the cultural and technological hub of the Pacific Northwest. Seattle skylines is spectacular with a hill-like effect on its silhouette, and a picture-perfect mountain backdrop...go Seattle!
