Hard too see from this distance, but there is alot of ground-level lighting, and most of the cranes in the city are lit up.

However, I think this photo proves that nature gives Vancouver the best lighting over all:

a few more...

Ahh Chicago never fails to please!

Dose Marina City do the lighting themselves? Or do the residences put their own lights up? Either way this looks awsome:

In Denver, the most decorated building is our City and County building. Some think it is overkill and since there needs to be a separation of church and state, the lights are all privately funded.

The residences do it all themselves, many of them leave them up (and lit) year round. I think Steely said he has his Christmas tree on his balcony.

Do not forget this:


Gerbrandy Tower near Lopik

The guyed masts you can see on http://www.radioscanner.ru/forum/ind...=5&topic=31655 would give excellent "X-Mas Trees" when proper decorated!

Our skyline's full of a bunch of grinches this year. Usually we have at least two buildings that decorate with lights, but not this year.

I took these down in San Antonio of their skyscraper decorations though.

Tower Life Building.




Tower of the Americas. The walkway around the observation deck was lit. The lights faded in and out from red to green. The "ring lights" around the roof were also red and green.


Two pictures I put together of the tower's lighting with a trial version of a gif maker program showing the lights.


Emily Morgan Hotel.
