Good morning!
@AgNO3Kate oh god, where is that?
@webmind @AgNO3Kate *Looks at picture, looks normal to me* ...why the oh god?
@Canageek @AgNO3Kate could be my vision, but it looks dreadful?
@webmind @AgNO3Kate Just a low cloud ceiling. Look at the skyline and you can see blue sky. Not actually raining today.
@Canageek @AgNO3Kate I was thinking of highrise on the skyline, office buildings and such. :)
@webmind @AgNO3Kate .....have you never lived in a city?
@Canageek @AgNO3Kate I live in one now.
@webmind @AgNO3Kate Isn't part of the definition of a city a skyline of skyscrapers?
@Canageek @AgNO3Kate no :) But it's a common view for cities I would say.
@webmind @AgNO3Kate Can you name a real city that DOESN'T have that? (Real means > 1 million people)
@Canageek @AgNO3Kate washington? bagdad? barcelona? There are flat cities :) and 1+ million is a metropole, smaller cities are still cities.
@webmind @AgNO3Kate Only due to us never updating the definition. I grew up in a "city" of 100-200K people and let me tell you: it wasn't. It was a suburb.
Hamilton, Ontario PRETENDS to be a city at 500K, and it almost succeeds? It sort of has a night-life and some culture?
@Canageek @AgNO3Kate I also think there might be big difference between cities in north-america and the rest of the world as far as looks go :)
@webmind @AgNO3Kate I've only been to Krakow and Prague in Europe. Mix of very nice scenery, and brutalist hellscapes.
I will say, one view of Prague looking out over the old city was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
@webmind @Canageek @AgNO3Kate the city I live in, in France, is 20k habs, close to à bigger one (Tours) of about 200k. While there is no reason to separate them (except history, because France), Tours is definitly a city, and no skyline.
@Canageek @AgNO3Kate budapest is also a nice city that way, not much skyscrapers either.
