I would go with yours Ldoto.

I took this one:



but of the course the problem is you don't get the full skyline.

They all look pretty good, but to get a great shot of downtown, I think you would need to take an aerial photo.

Both views are good. You can get a pretty good, but distant, view from Commissioners and Wharnecliffe. However it would be hard to get a good photo from that location.

Ldoto, if you could airbrush out the horrid courthouse building, your view would win hands down.

I used to hate that courthouse. It IS ugly, but at least the architects tried to do something different in their brutalist sort of way. I guess it's effective as a looming, ominous presence for the criminals who enter to be judged.

All Great Shots, though its to bad the way the buildings are setup in such a way that the veiw is often obstructed by buildings in the forground. ex. from Wharncliffe and Commis. theres a great veiw of the city but you cant see some of the skyline, same goes if you were to look at the city from Western road. Still looks great though
