Well, that is quite an old page. Maybe they lower their standards?

Great photo that is. I'm often guilty of ignoring any thing related to Sheffield but I'm glad I clicked on this page. I think the skyline has a unique look to it and with a few additions it will look absolutely amazing.

Here's Sheffield with a few additions for you van heckler:



All have been approved (except the 2 gray one's, but they're pretty likely to get approval).

Found a few nice shots of the skyline I've not seen before, thought I would share them:



Looking towards the city from Hunters Bar


View of Arts Tower from Crookes, just dominates the Sheffield skyline!


View from the Arts Tower looking towards Don Valley


View from the Don Valley Bowl with the Don Valley Stadium lights and Sheffield Ice in the foreground


Not really a skyline shot but very interesting shot of
Shalesmoor and Netherthorpe, alomst reminds me of San Fransico lol!


Two shots of the city centre taken from Norfolk Park

I really like this shot of the city hugged by all the rolling hills, Sheffield sure is lucky to be surrounded by stunning landscapes (click pics to enlarge)



Its easy to see way Sheffield is the UKs greenest city when you see pics
of its suburbs like this taken from Bole Hills, looking towards Loxley
