Photos that include both the Observatory and the view of downtown can be quite dramatic, especially because of the ability photographers have of showing us something different than what we actually see. I would guess they re taken from a hillside near the Observatory - up one of the trails they have. I don t walk too well so I have to enjoy the views from the Observatory itself. Here s a nice shot someone took.http://www.flickr.com/photos/witchietait��
