Best places for skyline shots in various cities.
On a recent trip to YVR I was hoping to get some night-time skyline pictures. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to find a decent location to take a shot from (Stanley Park was too far away) and came up empty-handed.
I figured I would start a thread where we can all chime in with our suggestions on where to take skyline shots in various cities - hopefully one of us will find it useful.
I'll start with two obvious ones:
Tokyo: Roppongi Hills Mori Tower (requires admission - ¥1,800)
Hong Kong: The Peak (requires admission - HK$56)

Seattle from Kerry Park on Queen Anne hill. On the one day a year it's sunny.
I also love San Francisco from the Marin Headlands or from treasure island framed by the suspension portion of the bay bridge.

San Francisco -- Noe Valley area near the radio tower
(this is a residential area that most people would have no reason to go to, but it's relatively accessible by MUNI train to the Castro and the view is unbelievable).

If the view of Mt. Rainier today is anything like yesterday, the rise of the full moon will be a spectacular sight from Kerry Park

Sorry I don't have any more specific information (or pictures) for this at the moment... maybe someone else who is more familiar with that area can help on the specifics.
