nice small town, i like the buildings on the snow.
Unfortunately since this is a rate the skyline forum, and there is only a small skyline as such, i can only give it a 3.5 IMHO

Sydney looks like a great place to go if you only have a year to live, because it looks like everyday would seem like a friggin' eternity! Holy cow, that's one boring looking city with a boring skyline. 2/10

New photos.

BTW, this town is a bit deceiving in that the downtown serves only the 33,000 in the city proper and immediate surrounding area, and not the almost 110,000 in the metro (there are 6 different downtowns in Sydney metro, Sydney is just the largest one)

Sydney is a nice place, but is a basically a town, with no skyline.

^I can only work with what I've got, and I'm the only photographer from the area daring enough to put the city (or town, whichever you prefer) on these message forums. sue me. :tongue2:

Nice town .. but no skyline .. 3/10

MIMICA

considering it's low population, i really think that the skyline isn't as bad as most of you think of it as...mabye if the camera were a little better, it would influence my vote alittle more, but hey...i understand that a photographer works with what he's got.

anyway's...the town/city looks really nice, but the skyline could get alittle more density to make it a complete skyline.

final vote - 8/10:)

I agree Timur from Sarajevo. Really not that bad considering small size and competition from other downtowns. Copmaritively I give it a 7/10

I'm glad to see some of the higher voters replying, so we can get a little bit of differing opinions in the replies and no just in the votes. I realize this won't get a high rating, I know it will get low ratings, but I've seen people ask about this city (in my lurking days, and admittedly mostly only Canadian forumers), so I decided to post it and see what resulted. I was also hoping someone else would surprise me with pics taken from better angles and with a better camera (and photography skill).

Timur and datilguy - thanks for doing more than just looking at the pictures. ;)

Sydney's skyline reminds me a lot of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario's skyline. 6/10. It's not bad for under 40,000.

These won't help the ratings, probably, but here's two panos I recently (poorly) stitched together.

This one shows it all the way to Cabot House (and the huge hole in between downtown and Cabot House that probably will never be filled in).

if i lived there i think i would be depressed

1/10 only because there are a few low rises, and some water

I like the water. Plus I didn't realize Syndey, NS had any tall buildings. Therefore my score is 8/10.

I don't really call these things "cities", must be because I grew up in a huge city like HK... this is at most a town, and doesn't really HAVE a skyline. I'm sure its a lovely place to live in (like my home in the US)
