I still haven't figured out how to take a decent night shot with a digital camera, so I had to google these:

Good stuff!

Here's a couple I found of Los Angeles

^LA has the best night views IMO.

Those first two pics are great. That's one of my favorite vantage points anywhere in any city---from above the Hollywood Bowl on Mullholland drive. It's just awesome, especially at night because you can see the Hollywood freeway winding through Los Angeles, and it's all lit up from traffic. You can't really see the palms in those pics because they aren't detailed enough, but at night I love how you can see the shadow silouttes of thousands of palm trees against the city lights.

Houston is relativly dark when it comes to Nigh-time.

It use to be lit up:

Now its not:

That's what I'm talking about. LA night views are awesome because of the vantage points. On a clear night, the lights go on forever. I flew out of LA at night once. We were over the ocean and I was looking towards LA and it was so bright, the freeways looked like white and red streaks. It looked like a video game.

I was looking for that pic of L.A.! Im glad you posted it.

Here are some more of Chicago
