St. John's, NL. Taken last evening by me from The Rooms (the provincial archives and museum). Click the image to get bigger ones.

its a surreal picture of regina, though i cannot wrap my head around the vantage point of the photographer. Where was this picture taken from?
I'm guessing from the big hill in Douglas Park. Maybe a little lower down the slope than the top.

One thing that people often forget about the Thunder Bay skyline is that our main skyline is actually for city of 50,000. That and all of our high rises are all over the place, and it really detracts from it. If you put all our high rises in one cluster we would have a decent skyline.

London has an awesome skyline and for a city it's size it has a lot of quite tall towers with a nice mix of residential and commercial.
I think the "feed" building in downtown Brandon is kinda cute.
Kamloops has a great skyline & so does Nanimo for their same sizes. They two of my favorite BC cities.
Kelowna's isn't up to much for a metro of 180,000 and all the buildings you see are condo/resorts. Very little commercial.
Is the Brandon one the old MacKenzie seeds building. They produce those little packages of seeds for gardens. I believe it will be turned to mixed use condos or rentals and office on the lower floors. (in the free press not long ago).
^Actually K-W's population is closer to half a million according to wikipedia which makes it's skyline even sadder. It's skyline reminds me a lot of Victoria-low, flat and uninspired.
Any way you cut it, KW's skyline is the Thunder Bay's Skyline of the over-300,000 of cities. Actually, there are angles that make Thunder Bay's skyline interesting, which is apparently more than you can say for the above.
Fort William
Port Arthur along Cumberland; the tallest buildings downtown are actually cut out of this angle.
^ I think these photos of KW, by WaterlooInvestor, definitely do it more justice than those posted earlier, since they show the scale of the city. The thing about KW's 'skyline' is that it is spread out and there really isn't much in the way of height, concentration, or iconic tall buildings. But in a way, it sort of makes the city look larger in scale. Once it starts getting dark and all the city lights turn on, you can look out and it seems like quite the vast expanse of city. Could easily pass for almost anywhere in Etobicoke or Scarborough with all of those typical-of-Ontario residential high-rises around.
Best view in my opinion is on McLellan Park. My camera doesn't do panorama, but if someone could get a 360 from the peak of that hill, it would be amazing. Preferably on a nice day before the summer is over. Of course, to really experience it, you need to actually be there. It's quite the vantage point.

I don't know about the "best" part... but it certainly has the tallest buildings...
