Guess The City (Aerial)

Reckon that's right, that football stadium in the south east is the shay

That's definitely it.

I'll post one when I figure out how to use bing maps to get an aerial pic on my phone.

3 is Halifax, well done!

Hats off to anyone who gets these, this is insanely hard. Reckon I could get London or New York if anyone fancies doing those.

Here's one until or something gets something loaded up:

Looks kind of Californian.

i'm sticking on that big open landscape in the middle. can't read it. cemetery? farms? big axial baroque garden?

I guessed cemetery.

Hint: It's located in the UTC +2.

Johannesburg?

Damn it, just abt to say Johannesburg. Think that's right.

has anyone guessed #1 yet?

the op is Indianapolis

This one is easy to GIS for source, but amazing:

Cairo?

Saer nailed it.

Is that a cemetery in the Jo-burg?

Look more closely in another tab. Each of those is a city block.

New Delhi?

I did look full size, Cairo seemed like a really big city in a dry climate that may have relativly low-tech development.

x-post, OK maybe India too.

The "carpet" quality makes me think Tokyo, the extremely gridding not so much. It's not Curitiba. Hrm. New Delhi outside of the center is actually pretty close in 'look' but I'm stumped. Man, that scale is wild. Feeling really dumb that I don't know what this is.

What's weird is how even it is - maybe because we're zoomed out so far but it's hard to read major/minor streets, or even a long/short kind of rhythm like Manhattan or Mexico City have in their grids. It's weird to see something that screams "20th century planning" but not "and also they were obsessed with traffic circulation" which would lead you to arterials or at least some primary collector roads or something.

It's New Delhi. I first saw the image in a coffee-table book about overpopulation.

I tried searching that area of New Delhi on google maps, but couldn't find the right airport.

worth viewing bigger

I was in the Shay Stadium a couple of weeks ago and I still had no idea that one up thread was Halifax. These are difficult.

That one looks a lot like Naples but isn't. I think I've covered most of the world's coastlines that look like that. Driving me a little nuts.

i know where is it

I just followed the little ferry lines all over the mediterranean and couldn't find a port that looked like that.
the railroads and lack of baseball diamonds around the sports complex in the southeast make me think it's not North America, the outdoor pools make me think it has to be somewhere warm.

palermo?

it is on the mediterranean, not palermo. if your resolution is high enough you might be able to make out a wall around the old part of the city. you can't really tell but it's on quite a slope down to the sea.

kinda tucked away in a gulf rather than on coast proper

Thessalonika?

yes!

excellent city btw, I commend it to you all

Loving the game. Now if someone could just show me how to upload an image without downloading an app to my phone I could contribute one of my own.

I shouldve blurted it out but go ahead

You should have, but go ahead anyway, I'm a few down as it is.

this is big for you zoom in

All of Northern Italy looks like that...

parma?

can't find it in parma but damn it looks so similar!

not italy

I just followed the little ferry lines all over the mediterranean and couldn't find a port that looked like that.

I did that exact same thing this afternoon.

that frank gehry looking thing on the northeast campus should be a clue

LEON

Spain

I was thinking northern spain/basque country but I never would've thought of leon for whatever reason, but it makes sense because it's not quite green enough to be Asturias or Galicia (in my not particularly informed opinion)

Interesting looking one!

No takers?

done a bit of coastline-scrolling but nothing's coming together yet.

klaipeda, lithuania. the euro buildings and barrier islands had me scanning through the coasts of the north and baltic seas for a while.

Yes! I thought this would have been an easier one than it proved to be, with such a distinctive coastline!

nice work!

Nantes!

(Didn't know it by sight - it just felt extremely French and I did a short cruise down the Loire. Second city I checked!)

Result!

I recognised it straight away as somewhere I had visited but got misled by the caption so was looking at cities on the Arno!
