Linked to One Word Sunday at Debbie’s here.
The image may just qualify for the Skyline challenge but I didn’t want to upload another boring city or sea skyline which seems to be what I have most of. (And I know I shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition)!
There is no such “rule” about prepositions. It is perfectlyacceptable to end with a preposition as long as the rest of the sentence is well formed.
Recasting the phrase as “which seems to be of what I have most” would be regarded as stilted and of doubtful correctness.
This Lexico (i.e. English Oxford Dictionary) page explains the matter succinctly.
Thanks for the explanation. I was brought up in an age when ending a sentence with a preposition got a sharp crack across the knuckles so the lesson lives on. I am learning to slacken my rigorous approach to grammar and soon hope to write as freely as I speak!!

As I hoped to show, there was no such rule and the people who advertised it and, worse still, who enforced it, were mistaken, merely copying other bigots in promoting a chimera.
The only rule is to write clearly in order to convey the meaning and, if possible, to do so with a modicum of elegance.

Thanks for that comment, Janet, and for liking the header photo. It’s Switzerland (if that’s not obvious) and I was sitting on a cafe balcony eating Apple Strudel and drinking Suchard thick and delicious hot chocolate when I took the shot. Ah, where would we be without memories!
