I think it looks great, but I wouldn't have minded some taller spires.

A shame. Some of those churches looks nice.

Would be a nice addition to the skyline!

Here is a site, where is all information about this fund, what is willing to rebuild this nice church (unfortunately only in lithuanian): http://www.svjono.lt/topic/index.html

Nice angle, Oslo needs a few taller towers, f.e. of similar height as those cranes.

Two Oslo shots (again I know).

Telthusbakken skyline. Believe it or not, but this small scale village is actually right in the middle of the city surrounded by 19th century buildings on all sides.

That looks like some random city in the States. Parking lots and skyscrapers.

There have been a foggy day in Leppävaara.

Guys, remember to note the source of the photo (even if you've taken it yourself)

Gothenburg is way underrepresented in this thread, it seems people forget that Gothenburg is in the same size category as Oslo and Helsinki and is the 5th largest nordic city after the capitals. Here is a little push for my city! :-)

it should have been three pictures here but i cant figure out how to share them, this is silly ffs!

**Pictures taken by me**

kjetilab · March 19th, 2012, 11:05 AM

People post the pictures they want, it's not like the cities have a quota based on some unwritten criteria. You are one having to make a difference!

Memel (Klaipeda) was a beauty and the bigger Königsberg (Kaliningrad) even more so.
This is what happened when german cities turned into communistic ugliness...

Some true words there!
Sad thing that they turned so nice and welcoming pretty cities into cold and ugly commie areas!

Although I'm not saying that all of Klaipeda is like that, it's still a very sad thing!
