Memphis.

I was raised halfway between Memphis and Nashville so I was gonna post the skylines of both, but I see that BNA has already posted Nashville.

My hometown, the great metropolis of Colorado Springs. Possibly the least urban city of 650,000 you will find anywhere on the planet.



My photo is facing away from the mountains, obviously. The typical view of Colorado Springs has nearby Pikes Peak in the background, but I've never photographed it that direction (the only way to do it is to sneak onto a roof). Here's the typical thumbnail view that the city uses for promotional material:



Current hometown: Denver.

Plenty of Denver photos on here, no need to add any. But I've called Denver home (excluding in-between stints all over the globe) since I was 17. Fellow-forumer rds has the best angle of Denver (interestingly, also facing away from the mountains) on the front page of his website: http://www.denver-cityscape.com/

I don't think I properly did this for the gran-daddy river city where I came into this world. As if anyone knows where St. Ann is, or that the hospital is 4-5 miles west of the Arch.

Great pic of Greensburg. My wife's family is from that area. Glad this thread was bumped so I got to see this shot. Thanks TBone & jd3189.

Downtown Los Angeles from my rooftop on a sunny morning:



and one in black and white from a cloudy day:



And here's the view when I used to live right in the middle of it:

Born and raised: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The closest city with any skyline to mention is Mississauga, which is essentially a suburb of Toronto:



a bit further to the east is Toronto (from on high):
