Inspiring Cityscapes (7)

Posted in InspiringMar 27, 08 | 02:13 pm

I’ve been fortunate enough to live in some of the biggest and most inspiring cities in the world — London, New York, San Francisco, Boston and have visited many more.

One of the things I love about big cities is the views of their skyline. When I lived in San Francisco I would to ride my bike over the Golden Gate bridge and look back at the cityscape. In New York, I lived in Brooklyn, and always be awed at the view of the city whilst crossing the bridge back to my Park Slope apartment (I always seemed to take the subway into the city and a cab home, go figure).

I was going to post some of my photographs here, but after looking around Flickr for a while I found these gems that far outshine my pictures.

You’ll notice that a lot of the photographs are shot at night, probably another reason I like Light on Dark, the colors in some of these shots are just amazing.
