Skylines of the World cities

Where do our travels generally lead us? Towards high snow-caped mountains and deep lush green valleys. Into beautiful coastal sunsets and quaint country roads? Through historical towns and mystical monuments?

And on dozens of other explored and unexplored trails ... our travels can stretch far and near, into the landscapes of the earth.

But wherever you may travel to, you will hardly ever be too far away from one of the world's sparkling big cities filled with multitudes of people and the marvelous chaos that they call life!

The brightest lights and tallest buildings constitute a large part of the skyline of any such big city. Right here, is a peek into how some of these cities may look like by night fall. Almost like glittering constellations in the dark stretches of night!

This year Mount Washington's winding Auto Road opens early (June 28 at 3:30 a.m., July 26 at 4 a.m., Aug. 30 at 4:30 a.m.), and fans get behind the wheel for a pre-dawn drive to the summit, where nature's curtain unveils everything from fickle fog to a sea of mountains.
