I can smell that photo.Don’t worry about that, Des Moines is beautiful! The QC skyline has bigger things to worry about…
Are wind farms Ioway's most interesting skyline?

Much shame for my family..It's Larry Zach.
I have signed editions of Old Rivals I, II, and III.
The old rivals series is a personal favorite. I think I like 2 more than 1 but not a huge fan of 3.
Also, I thought it was Zach but apparently there is a Larry zok from des moines as well and looked up the wrong guy.
Much shame, I shall say many forgivenesses.
Slight tangent but I was just reminded of Des Moines and a huge buck.
Larry made a painting out of it.
MONSTER.

So, back on topic. Safe to say your entry for most interesting Ioway skyline are mississippiscapes?

I just think it's probably the most interesting urban view in a state that doesn't have many, primarily because it's on the country's largest and most important river.
Des Moines looks like a mini Indianapolis - a few tall buildings surrounded by flat farmland.
Cedar Rapids looks like Peoria with a smaller river.
And that's about it.
Dubuque is also kind of cool, IMO, with the bluffs and funicular and ice harbor.
It's an aesthetic I happen to like. Don't really give a shit if others don't. 🤷♂️

In a sea of blah, Dubuque wins the best Ioway cityscape award - to my eye anyway.

C'mon, man. You're starting a thread challenging people to convince you that IOWA has terrific aesthetic qualities?Des Moines hacks try to come at you with these over-stylized and over-filtered shots of Principal's big brown juicer and EMC's Absolut bottle, and the bridge to the courthouse but come on - it sucks. It's the most Ioway little brother thing ever to try and compare it to a real city scape. And we all know everywhere else blows - CR, the 'loo, Dirty D.
And just endless corn and beans are boring AF. Sure, snap the pic at just the right sunrise / sunset and it looks fine - but so could a mow shed in Waukee suburbia if the angles are just right.
So, are the sharp modern white lines of a windmill breaking up the contrasting greens, yellows, and blues of the natural landscape Iowa's most interesting skyline? I say yes.
A non-stylized, non-overfiltered picture for your review.
To quote you in multiple areas of this thread - "That's cheating."
