Beautiful Skyline Photo

The city has about 285000 people give or take and we live on the outskirts with population of 25000 give or take. We live about 20 minutes I guess from town. When I was little my aunt and uncle lived out here where I do now and we lived in town and to come visit them we would be going to the country. Needless to say the city has moved out here and it still moving out this way.

I suppose it's classified as rural...though albert lea is the biggest town in the county and also the county seat...I love this size...big enough to have all the ammenities but small town feeling.

I guess Hamilton is classified as a medium-size city. I live "on the mountain" as opposed to the "lower city," in an old part of town that was the northern terminal of the underground railroad, no less.

I live close to a larger city, Charlotte, about 15 miles from me, and close to a smaller city, so I have the best of both worlds. If I had to choose, it would be the smaller city. I appreciate all that Charlotte has to offer, but I don't like the traffic and crime that come along with it. We have plenty of shopping, rest. theaters etc. in our little town. Blessings Marilyn

That's a lovely photo! I can't photograph snow with my digital camera--or so I thought. My son told me yesterday that my camera has all kinds of different settings! I'll have to look up the manual online. I live in a city of 150,000 more or less so I guess it's a small city. We have no skyscrapers but our downtown and much of the city is full of beautiful old buildings that are 50-100+ years old. Of course we have a lot of modern stores and such but I love the mix of new and old. I live about 3/4 mile from downtown in a nice urban neighborhood of old houses and soaring trees.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, That looks so preety with the lights of the offices on, I live in the country in the south south east of England and we have a small town and we don't get those horrid traffic jams like you don in London, it is quite here and neighbours are friendly not like London where no one wants to know. I love where I live. Tamara

Great photo! I remember seing that building when I was there last year. My aunt lives just outside of Minneapolis. I live about 40 miles west of Chicago. The population here is 94,487. Just a few miles west of us is all country. Lots of land and corn fields.

I would love to see your town. The tallest building in our town is in the process of being build which will be 8 stories. It is the new hospital and will be opened at the end of this year or beginning of next year.

I live about 15 minutes from a large city of Louisville, Ky. I find it to be just about the right distance from where I can go anywhere I want without being to far of a drive. I wouldn't want to live in Louisville the large city, but a suburb of the city is fine. If it wasn't such a distance to drive to get anywhere, I would much rather be in the country.

Very nice photo..The night effect makes it look really neat...We live right outside of our city...but it isn't as big as yours....

Hi Grandpa Bob! That is a beautiful skyline indeed! I live in a small city with a population of 267,000. It is a beautiful city and have been home to me for the longest time. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

I live in a suburb of St.Louis. St. Louis lies at the heart of Greater St. Louis, a region of nearly three million people in both Missouri and Illinois. Large city for me. More to do. More to see.

I just love this shot. There is something thrilling about lights from a city. I live in a small mountainous Island and it is also wonderful to be up high looking down on one of our two cities! I enjoy just watching the lights below. Where I live is high enough just to catch a glimpse of the ocean and a few lights. 'So it is very quiet and I love where I live. Thank you so much for showing us this wonderful photograph.

I live in a small town in the mountains. Sometimes when I am driving at night I will look out over a valley that has a town in it and the lights are beautiful. I really love to come upon some large city from above them and see all the lights lit up.

That is so so pretty. You have a great eye for beauty!

I live not too far from the edge of Austin, a large city. the population in 2007, according to wikipedia was 743,074. Austin has no incorporated cities inside if it, and at this point, is almost trapped between other incorporated towns. I consider the area I live in as suburban since I'm not in the core of the city. If I walk to the end of the street there's a large field. Now, unlike Houston, I know of no fields with cattle or horses inside the city limits that is not designated like a stable or something. Houston and San Antonio as well as Dallas have swollowed up incorporated areas, in Austin the neighboring suburbs are growing too fast themselves to permit Austin to take them over.

Hi Grandpa Bob! Wow! What a beautiful view! It looks so much like the City of White Plains which is the next large city up from Yonkers where I live in NY! If you didn't tell me where it was they could be twins! Wow! I didn't realize how different it is where you live from the actual city! I think I'd definitely rather live where you are away from the city! I live in a big city, but more of a suburbs of it! There isn't nearly as much crime and at least my apartment complex is only two story apartments so we have a porch and a little bit of grass and lots of trees so it doesn't feel so much like a big city!

I agree with you. Downtown Minneapolis is incredibly gorgeous, and even moreso at night. I personally love Minneapolis. I live about two minutes from downtown and I try to take advantage of everything it has to offer. Although I have never been to "big" big cities like New York & San Francisco, I consider Minneapolis to be a big city. We deal with all of the problems that big cities face, including public education issues, crime, traffic, and so on.. But we also have the advantage of living in a city where we'll never ever get bored. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w281/maezeetrash/yuwie6.gif http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w281/maezeetrash/yuwie7.jpg (pictures! i haven't reached the official "500" mark, so paste these in you address bars!)
