Bright street lights covering hundreds of city corners. Skyscrapers illuminating a yellow hue from every window. Quiet cranes paused from construction in an expanding city. Cars flying past each block. This is the essence of a cityscape: a view of a city from high above and in this case, a stunning picture of a bustling city, from cranes to skyscrapers. Here are five cityscape Instagram accounts you need to check out.
