Obviously this isn't officially 'my city' but it fits in with the topic and I decided to share it with the UK forumers.
I was in Slovenia recently and got this 360-degree panorama of Ljubljana from the top of the castle's viewing tower.

The old Yugoslav countries are stunning, I have been to the Adriatic coastal resort Rovinj in Croatia for holiday twice now and love it , my favorite place, so relaxed but vibrant enough in the old town, loads of nice cafes and bars

Taken from City Tower.

A photo I probably took quite a few years ago of Glasgow from Toryglen (Hampden is to the left out of frame) looking North, with rain in the city centre and the campsies in the background. Really awful quality picture though. It does show how the many residential tower blocks dominate the Glasgow skyline.

Needs image tags, same as your skyline post too.

Those white blocks are Horatia House (right) and Leamington House (left), both 51m high, 18 floors.
Some of the nicer-looking council blocks in Portsmouth!
And that smaller one in front of Leamington House is Mercantile House, a University-owned building. I abseiled off the roof of it last October - it's only 40m, but you get a great view from the top of it, I posted some further back in this thread.

***ill tonkso*** · June 23rd, 2012, 05:31 PM

I got the wrong names for them when I did the SC4 versions. I got Leamington right (but didn't change it from blue frames to green) but gave Horatia the wrong name.

Still, I find it amusing how Pompeys blocks are named after Birmingham districts. The tallest council block (at 72m) is Ladywood House.

I heard tonkso! We get everywhere, there's even a crater on the moon called Birmingham, yes I've heard the jokes no atmosphere in the place etc lol!

Thanks for BATing these things, btw, just been getting back into Simcity over the last month or so... don't know what I'd do without the various council blocks, Five Ways office buildings and Bishopsgate towers you've graciously provided... ta.

I love this tower. The best new tower in the UK in my opinion..I would love this in Cardiff!

ferge · June 24th, 2012, 02:33 PM

That tower, would have looked great as part of the Mediacity development, in Salford - over what was put there instead

Aaronj09 · June 24th, 2012, 04:45 PM

I don't want to cause offence but that building is quite bad for a new build..
