Following up from another thread asking what's the tallest building you've ever seen, I'm asking what's the tallest building you can see from your home?

Please provide height, location and a photo if possible.






The tallest from my house in Notting Hill, London is the 246ft Poynter House and it's indentical twins at the nearby Edward Woods Estate.

From my bedroom window I can see the top of the CN Tower but the main cluster is blocked off by the house across the street. :(

My neighbors house across the street: 2 floors, 3 m

You can see the sky all lit up from downtown but you can't see the buildings because it is so hilly, I can see mountains though

From one window in my house i can see Tower 42 (around 180m tall) and the Swiss re building (a few meters shorter). They are very far away, about 10 miles or so, but still very easy to make out

Unfortunately, there are none for me here in Pleasantville. :(

The tallest? I can't see a darn thing from my house. So therefore:
My neighbor's house-30 feet.

Tallest I can barely see is One Beacon Street in Boston. It is 507ft and 37 stories tall.

i can see another homes (three floors high) but some tree's are taller.

they are around the 9-10 metres tall ( 30-33 feet)

Just the houses that are the same height as mine about 2 stories. Tall trees are everywhere round here, makes it hard to see the houses at the back.

i can see the lil spire thing on the builing - Century City Walk in Glen Waverley, Melbounre, Australia. no idea of hieght

The Sears Tower. It's only about 3 miles away. I can also seek the Hancock and Aon Center rather easily as well.

i live so far out in the burbs all i see are 4 story apartment complexes everywhere, lol

I'm lying in my bed looking out of the window and see Aon Center (1136 ft) on the left and Sears Tower (1450 ft), at a distance, on the right. That's two of the tallest buildings in the USA. The building next to Aon is Prudential Center :)

There are no tall buildings in my area of the city. I can't stand suberbs!!!! All I can see from my house is more houses. Though if I stand on the tip top of my house I can see a few 5-story condos. :p I could never let myself live in the suberbs; downtown is more llivly. :)

Paris

From one window in my house i can see Tower 42 (around 180m tall) and the Swiss re building (a few meters shorter). They are very far away, about 10 miles or so, but still very easy to make out
