"A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one." - Aristotle
It is widely believed that Pittsburgh is one of the more populous American cities. To the surprise of many, it doesn't even make the top 50. Nevertheless, Pittsburgh definitely has something special about it.
The Steel City often flies under the radar compared to major US cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Though, with recent Hollywood productions like The Dark Knight Rises and Jack Reacher filmed in the city, that's bound to change.

I've only lived in Washington a couple of years and once I heard about Kerry Park I wanted to check it out. Well a couple of weeks ago I was in Seattle (I don't go there that often) and I thought today is the day. I got up to Kerry Park about an hour and half before sunset and staked out a spot. It was a little cold but definitely worth the wait. I even saw a DeLorean cruise up when I was waiting for sunset. Roads...where we're going we don't need roads.
The City seen from Waterloo Bridge. I took this before but tonight the light was special, so I just took it again. One of my favorite spots in London.
..shine so bright.
The hotel room that we stayed in had this amazing view. Katie, Em, and I L♥ved it. It was so beautiful and it made me realize again, how much I enjoy the city. I love falling asleep to the noise and waking up to it. =]
The cool thing was...you could still see the stars from this view.
Too bad my parents were on the 4th floor with a view of..well..the roof. Teheh

*Thanks for Explore April 18th!!
I know it's only a small city, but it's still there!
I really like this vantage point for framing our little city though - highlights to me how rural and green Darwin is as a capital city. The trees still dominate our region, which is what I love about living here!

Bangkok is the capital and the most populous city of Thailand. It is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (กรุงเทพมหานคร, pronounced [krūŋ tʰêːp mahǎː nákʰɔ̄ːn] ( listen)) or simply About this sound Krung Thep (help·info). The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in Central Thailand, and has a population of over eight million, or 12.6 percent of the country's population. Over fourteen million people (22.2 percent) live within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region, making Bangkok an extreme primate city, dwarfing Thailand's other urban centres in terms of importance.
Bangkok traces its roots to a small trading post during the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 15th century, which eventually grew in size and became the site of two capital cities: Thonburi in 1768 and Rattanakosin in 1782. Bangkok was at the heart of Siam's (as Thailand used to be known) modernization during the later nineteenth century, as the country faced pressures from the West. The city was the centre stage of Thailand's political struggles throughout the twentieth century, as the country abolished absolute monarchy, adopted constitutional rule and underwent numerous coups and uprisings. The city grew rapidly during the 1960s through the 1980s and now exerts a significant impact among Thailand's politics, economy, education, media and modern society.
The Asian investment boom in the 1980s and 1990s led many multinational corporations to locate their regional headquarters in Bangkok. The city is now a major regional force in finance and business. It is an international hub for transport and health care, and is emerging as a regional centre for the arts, fashion and entertainment. The city's vibrant street life and cultural landmarks, as well as its notorious red-light districts, have given it an exotic appeal. The historic Grand Palace and Buddhist temples including Wat Arun and Wat Pho stand in contrast with other tourist attractions such as the nightlife scenes of Khaosan Road and Patpong. Bangkok is among the world's top tourist destinations. It is named the most visited city in MasterCard's Global Destination Cities Index, and has been named "World's Best City" for four consecutive years by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Bangkok's rapid growth amidst little urban planning and regulation has resulted in a haphazard cityscape and inadequate infrastructure systems. Limited roads, despite an extensive expressway network, together with substantial private car usage, have resulted in chronic and crippling traffic congestion. This in turn caused severe air pollution in the 1990s. The city has since turned to public transport in an attempt to solve this major problem. Four rapid transit lines are now in operation, with more systems under construction or planned by the national government and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.
