Every time that I get an opportunity to photograph a cityscape/skyline from the highest point in a city I jump at the opportunity. Such was the case recently on a trip to San Diego. I love the view here with traffic (upper left) from San Diego International Airport (Lindbergh) as well as the Interstate 5 corridor funneling right into the heart of the city. Interestingly, San Diego International is the busiest airport in the country with just one runway handling all of the traffic.
A friend invited Lynn and me to lunch at the University Club on the 34th Floor of the Symphony Towers in downtown San Diego. Before he and his wife arrived at the restaurant I took these photos.
Later we took our final tour of the trip on the Old Town Trolley where I took the photo above. Once again the freight yards feed into the heart of the city revealing that beautiful skyline at the top of the picture.
This final photo was also taken from the Trolley on Coronado Island. What a tranquil scene with the lines of sailboats at anchor with San Diego in the background. All of these photos were taken with the Olympus OMD-EM5 camera and the Olympus 12-50mm lens. The next time that you take the camera out in a new travel destination look for a unique perspective from which to photograph.
