The skyline is the shape you see where hills or buildings cut against the sky. When people say “the Taipei skyline” or “the New York skyline,” they mean that city’s famous jagged edge of towers. A country skyline can be just ridges and trees. Photographers wait for dusk because the outline shows up then.
