Guess The City (Aerial)

It looks like it could be part of São Paulo

Hint: it's a capital
Potentially misleading hint: those are paddy fields.

I google capital city paddy fields and now I know

Technically that's Ambohimanarina with a bit of Tsarasaotra. It's a remarkable place for rice paddies (elevation 4,300 ft).

I'll give ya that.

31, by my count:

Kanagawa.

er, kanazawa!

that was fast! I knew I shouldn't have put kenrokuen right in the middle.

I was wondering when someone was going to go Maldives, so mad I was having dinner for that one

as a gestalt we seem to be getting scary good at this, btw

Haha, I recognized Kanazawa for SANAA's 21st Century Museum, much-discussed in architecture-school-land, and IMO not as good as their one in Toledo. But very distinctive from above, with the rectangles-in-circle design.

er, kanazawa!

Oops sorry.

potosi bolivia

can't believe I finally got one haaa

wow

my dad is Chilean and lived for a long spell of his childhood in northern chile, ive never been there but have seen tons of pictures, documentaries etc. and the first thing I thought when I saw that picture was that it was in that part of the world, quite possibly Calama, the town near Chuquicamata, but that if it wasn't it was def in northern Chile, Peru, or Bolivia.

and after Calama Potosi was the only mining town I could think of by name

well it's your turn next don't forget

BTW Santiago was wonderful & I hope to return - first trip ever to South America, would recommend

I will do one but likely not til tomorrow. if anyone is wanting to do one in the interim they should go ahead

yeah, Santiago is p great.

xp Potosi. Arguably the richest city in the world from 1575 to 1825. Having read Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina in translation, its also the site of atrocity on the grandest scale, too.

Concepción, CL

sadly - and I mean this NEVER works - "search google for this image" turns up a map to 5K and 10K run routes through downtown

I tested this one - my cheatin' ways are insufficient to solve it although I doubt it will last more than an hour, regardless

Louisville, Kentucky!

Seoul - such a distinct variety of massive housing block arrangements

The one above is La Plata, Argentina, for reference.

Eventually we need to make a poll of these btw

What's the poll options cap? 30-something?

St. Augustine!

Ding ding ding! I screengrabbed that one back when we first started and forgot to post it. I just love the juxtaposition of elements.

I basically got that by googling "old fort"
