Cityscapes

One of the weekly photocolumns that I follow pretty closely is the reader photos to a preset theme.  This week’s theme was “City Skylines” and there are some really wonderful submissions.  I particularly like Michael Kennan’s spectacular skyline of Seattle from Queen Anne Hill.  Then there is Jane Barrett’s cleverly circularized image of the harbor in Stockholm. But my admiration doesn’t stop there.  There is a really interesting image by Owen Bowler of the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth reflected off the water.  This is a particularly subtle and clever variation of the distorted reflection genre of architectural photographs. Finally among my favorites is Daniel Furon’s moody and wonderful image of the San Francisco skyline. Honestly, I have seen a lot of beautiful photographs of San Francisco over the years.  This one takes my breath away.
