Is there a shot of Bridgeport and New Haven??? They are only about 15 miles apart as the crow flies. And this may be a little unrealistic but how about Providence and Boston???

This is by Third Eye Indigo Photography on Flickr. The downtown skyline is in the middle about 4 miles back.

No, the in this case is because I was still young enough to be dragged along by my parents and I was never a mall rat. Even streets like Michigan Avenue aren't really my thing. I'm basically allergic to shopping of any kind. Sorry about the misunderstanding; I can't imagine how much money the MOA pumps into the Twin Cities economy.


As for the New York/Philly pano, it will be a couple years before I'm back to New York, but if I have a nice camera with me I'll see if a helicopter pilot is willing to fly close enough to get Philly in good focus.

Heres an aerial showing a few clusters of Toronto:

Downtown obviously.
The leftmost one, north of the two other clusters is Yonge and Eglinton (which is getting a 200+m building )
The small one directly south of that is Yonge and Davisville
and south of that one is Yonge and St. Clair.
Going south is Yorkville which is essentially connected to downtown skyline wise.
Near the top right corner is Thorncliffe Park
and you if you look closely right at the top left corner you can see a few buildings east of North York's main skyline.

it would be awesome if this photo was more zoomed out or taken from even higher up as North York and Scarborough would both be fully visible; maybe even Etobicoke and Markham.

That's actually Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park. Don Mills is mid-rise, so not much of a skyline. And of course both Flemingdon Park and Don Mills are (were) part of North York's east end as well. Thorncliffe Park is located in former East York.

Thanks for clarifying.
I think i found the North York buildings on maps at highway401 and Bayview.
They were east of North York's main cluster so I automatically called the area its 'east end'
