I agree NEO. I think the best view is coming into town via I-20. I wish someone would post that one. ATL has one of the longest skylines. It is not very dense outside of the CBD, but no one holds a candle to it's vast stretch of 20+ story office bldgs. (ok...so NYC, but outside of that, not many)

c'mon ATL guys get us an I-20 shot.

thx IC, for some reason my system will not let me view it. Can you attatch a link or is it one that you took personally??? I do not know why I can't see the shot that some of you guys post. It is really weird...

Here is a great shot to show you the linear expanse of ATL. Found it on Emporis.

this one is from stone mountain:

Here is another:

I LOVE THIS ONE...I think it gets everything:

http://www.emporis.c...l/im/?id=230054

it is like a 15 mile stretch. This is ATL's strength. So it might not be the densest city in the world, but it is an awesome city from a linear view !

I like that angle, exactly where was it taken?

[ironchapman]

Don't know...somewhere just south of I-20, I guess.
If it was only bigger and brighter, I'd use it as an avatar.

very Nice IC. I got that one.

Does anyone of you have some pictures of the beautiful Bellsouth building with  the light colors of pink and blue mix on it and some dim lights moving at the top of this building in night times during the 1996 Summer Olympics if you know what I mean. Could you show it for me that I'm dying to find it. Thanks.

coming from the West (from Douglasville/B'ham) going East. I think the Money Shot would be right around the SixFlags exit.

(you can get a great view of the CBD, Midtown, and Buckhead) Granted there are noticable gaps, but it is a great view of the linear nature of ATL's skyline. It is a stretch of 10-15 miles against the horizon filled with towers. Again its a great shot.

You are 100% correct about this.  Granted its from a distance but Im amazed that you don't see pictures of the city from here because it is such a great view especially at night.  You crest a hill right around six flags and there it is on the horizon.

What is it called this kind of lights building that you search for? Maybe I can try help to search for it myself. Also, can you enlarge this picture that you just dug it out. I love this picture better than other one, cuz it's showed many dim lights over city, but other one still beautiful. Heh.

What do you mean by that?

One of our members, Westin Peachtree, I believe, had a photo of the BellSouth Building during the Olympics as his avatar.
