Hi everyone: I definitely agree - a well-deserved congratulations ... this is such a wonderful image! In fact, this shot makes an awesome selection for BetterPhoto's monthly "Where in the World?" quiz. It will be featured in the new issue of BP's PhotoFlash newsletter!

So please don't give away the location, June - let's see if anyone can come up with the correct answer! In several days, I'll check back to see how things are going.

Again, June, congrats on your excellent photo. And, for everyone else, have fun guessing where this scene can be found!

Nice skyline. Wonder what it would look like at night? Im gonna say Manhatton too. #889586

Kathryn (Love) Scheet November 04, 2004

I'm guessing Boston #889651

November 04, 2004

I'll take Manhattan!!! Great shot.
#889770

That is Boston Harbour. This is the water side of the financial district.

NICE SHOT! #889865

November 04, 2004

I'm such an idiot! Th Twin towers sat right behind these buildings. It's lower manhatten. #889887

Julia S. Chadwick November 04, 2004

I would have said Baltimore Maryland, but apparently everyone thinks it's Lower Manhatten. #889930

Lucie November 04, 2004

Where in the W O R L D ???
I think this beautiful skyline is somewhere on the east coast of Canada.

ok...Halifax, Nova Scotia. #889985

Deanna W. Thompson November 04, 2004

katy Sinclair November 04, 2004

Lisa Wendling November 04, 2004

Odelia November 04, 2004

Great photo. Looks to me like the Manhattan skyline. #890056

Kathryn (Love) Scheet November 04, 2004

ready to change my guess... NY - I think that pointy bldg in the center(not the green one) is the Empire State Bldg. - maybe shot from the Brooklyn bridge??? #890178

November 04, 2004

It's Seattle! #890252

Joan Miller November 04, 2004

Vancouver, B.C. #890300

Stephanie Daoust November 04, 2004

This is definitely NYC from the Hudson river! I recognize the 2 WFC. #890358

Connie Diring November 04, 2004

Looks like the Windy City to me. Is that the John Hancock building in the background? My guess....Chicago #890580

Donna L. Palmlund November 04, 2004

I'll take a shot at Portland, Maine~Donna #890637

Adrienne La Rosa November 04, 2004

This is lower/downtown Manhattan, where the Twin Towers used to be. It's taken from the New Jersey side (my guess would be Jersey City). The black building is 1 Liberty Plaza and I think the building with the dome is the American Express building. The smaller brown buildings is Battery Park City.

How's that for detail? ;)

I sure miss this view. #890946

Leni Gaston November 04, 2004

It looks like Seattle to me. I am going by the building with the green top. #891023

Kip T. Berger November 05, 2004

No clue on the location, but I think it is a very nice shot! Congrats for your being in the newsletter June! #891060

November 05, 2004

It's the lower end of NYC taken across the Hudson. #891813

Emily Godlewski November 05, 2004

Great shot. I agree that it is San Diego, California. Emily G. #892626

My first thought Manhatton but then I thought that would be two easy, Then I thought it was Seattle, but were are the Moutains behind Seattle. After looking at it for a long time, I am going to have to say Manhatton. Great shot, I love the red boat, It makes it look like living in a big city could acutally be fun.
I am from southern Idaho and just seeing pictures of skylines like this blows me away. #896427

Buddy Purugganan November 08, 2004

Detroit? Or Dallas...... #898565

Kerry Drager November 16, 2004

Hi everybody: Excellent guesses! But for those of you who guessed the New York City skyline ... well ... you're right! Here's more from June:

"It is specifically lower Manhattan, west side on the Hudson, featuring One and Two World Financial Center and Battery Park City ... shot from Jersey City, N.J. I shot this on the third anniversary of 9/11, waiting for the tribute in lights to shine."So, thanks for taking part in BetterPhoto's "Where in the World?" quiz. And again, June, an awesome photo!
