Post a pic which really represent your city in your view! You don't have to show the Empire State as New Yorker, just a pic where you can see what you're city really is. Only one pic, please. I will start :)

I think this is the picture that most people think represents Detroit:

I would have agreed ten years ago, but now so much has changed for the better. Hell, even that building has a renovation proposal.

Santiago de Querétaro, México.

The monumental aqueduct of 1731, is the monument that represents my city, but Queretaro is a modern and industrialized city in Mexico, it's a Human Heritage Monument declared by UNESCO in 1996.

- Swiss flag: the introverted, conservative side
- Streetparade: the open, international and tolerant side
- Swiss Life building: the economical side (a world center of banks and insurances)

Did you realize the similarities (I guess it was meant to be)? :)

Can't you guys read? :rant: One (1) pic please!

It's a thread to post one pic that represents your city in the best way, not to show what a great skyline it has.

At least, i think so. Isn't it, Forza Raalte? ;)

You understand the idea, Kuesel also did. When my pic which shows a real good image of Amsterdam could be this
http://www.hiptravelguide.com/amsterdam/johnny.jpg
The coffeeshop for Amsterdam's freedom.
And the stake as a symbol for Amsterdam.

or this one

Is marijuana legal in amsterdam? post also a marijuana restaurant...it would be cool.

Only one? Then I can bring only the postcard version of Riga - my picture. It's dam hard to show the diversity of the city, so this one shows only medieval centre + Daugava river.

Fantastic. This is the best photo on this thread. Which skyscraper did you take this shot from?

Actually, this picture isn't mine. It looks like it was taken from 2IFC. The best shot I've mustered was from the roof of Exchange Square.
