tag discussion: skyline vs horizon

personally, i'm inclined towards an alias. going by the posts, they're pretty much the same. is there any significant difference? some may need some cleaning though.

I've always thought of skyline being a view of a city and horizon for rural or ocean views.

that's one way of limiting the definition of skyline, and probably would work, but isn't it just plain cityscape?

Just some definitions for skyline.

Wikipedia - A skyline is the overall or partial view of a city's buildings and structures against the sky. It can also be described as the artificial horizon that a city's overall structure creates.

Oxford Dictionary - an outline of land and buildings defined against the sky.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary - 2: an outline (as of buildings or a mountain range) against the background of the sky.

I'd also lean towards skyline requiring buildings.

the requirement for buildings is fine for me. maybe something related:

create alias city_skyline -> skyline

reason: same; preference over more posts

Did
create alias city_skyline -> skyline
