How can you mess this one up? Over the years, I've been lucky enough to visit a number amazing cities that sit on or against a body of water from Hong Kong to New York, Sydney and Rio De Janeiro, all with unique and remarkable attributes. The views from the top of Victoria peak of Hong Kong and across the harbour to Kowloon are fantastic. especially at dusk. When approaching Manhattan from JFK, you are immediately blown away by the necessity of a wide angle lens to take in the expanse of the island and its endless silhouette of buildings and bridges. Sydney is best viewed from the Taronga park zoo across the bay,with views of the Opera House and harbour bridge. and Rio from Pau de Acucar or Cristo Redentor,provides aerial views without leaving the ground,stay for the cable car up sugar loaf. All of these cities have left in me indelible memories, though my stays were all to brief. I can picture these skylines,but not at all well enough to attempt to paint them. This place, San Francisco, I've seen thousands of times,from an equal number of view points.
