Ah...good one. 

That's a tricky picture of Atlanta's skyline.

Foreground: small fraction of downtown Atlanta's skyline

Afar: Atlanta's Buckhead skyline (see below)

Horizon: Blue Ridge Mountains north

Yup, I liked the photo, even though it's several years old.  The foreground is part of the midtown group of buildings.

Poor quality photo from a too-distant unrevealing angle. 

To make guessing more difficult, this is a screen shot of a Disney kids movie filmed and released in the mid-90s. Since then, what is visible in the photo is dwarfed and crowded out by a more massive skyline built up over the last three decades as the surrounding metro area's population tripled.

Tucson

...kinda does look like Tucson minus the surrounding mountain ranges...

A better hint – a more evident view of its 90s skyline dwarfed by development since then:
