Architecture tends to be an abundant source of inspiration, with so many classic and modern styles blending throughout cities all over the world. One such iconic source that many turn their photographic eye to, is city skylines. The looming structures carving out a recognizable silhouette as they climb high against the colors of the day or night sky.
Today we have collected an inspirational showcase focusing on these skylines and some of the breathtaking photos they have lent their architectural compositions to. We hope that you will find some inspiration in the photos below that you can carry with you into whatever project you have at hand. Enjoy!

You have an amazing collection of skyline images right there. I particularly like the ones of hong kong…and especially by night. The lights interplay are simply tremendous. Great post.

another great post and reason for me to thank you for the constantly good work.
sad thing with this topic is of course that these pix remind you of the fact that meanwhile 90% of all modern cities more or less look alike…

Awesome.
Most of the photos are movie-like.
Great lights, great fog.

Impressive shots, my favourite is “city glow” taken from Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.

These skyline photos are really special, I’ve been looking for a picture of Edinburgh in Scotland. I know it’s a long shot but do you know where I could get one?

Skyline imagery is always really impressive. It has a really overwhelming feeling to it, one which makes you feel small but powerful and its interesting as they are places we wouldn’t usually see. I like the ones with the reflections in the water and the ones which are taken at night.

Thanks for including one of mine in the list (although it looks a bit lame compared to the others!!)
