Cool shots! Those SF photos are pretty recent, maybe 6-8 weeks ago? And the first few are even newer.
|
I figured so, I was last in SF last summer, so I knew it was pretty recent.
|
Wow.
|
Here's one of San Francisco in honor of today, April 18 (102 anniversary of the big one):

wow, you can really see what the fire did
And how did they take this picture? Baloon? |
^^^Believe it or not, kites according to the web site, but the picture says "captive airship" in the lower left corner.
|
"captive airship", how cool is that.

1938 Chicago is better than most cities of today.

ok this ones a big'un
By Dillif at wikimedia.org http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Diliff http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._Sept_2007.jpg ^10 points to thee who spots: 1. the 3 flowering shrubs on a roof terrace - what colour are they? 2. what it says on top of one of the buses 3. the 6 yellow canoes hidden (from the ground anyway) in a pretty strange place 4. the shepherd and his little flock of sheep ...just wanted to sneak this one in too, by the same wikipedia photographer: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-_Feb_2008.jpg |
^thats cheating, but that panorama is worthy of a bump. I feel like Im there, Im listening to Virgin Radio on the net.....
|
the shrubs are red
the bus says GAG PVKL225 the canoes are on a roof next to the pedestrian bridge(forgot it's name) |
Jeez man, youre good.
any news on the sheep tho'? Clue: theyre not overly far from the cathedral |
Quote:
So sad, the downtown has been choked by a ring of freeways and clouds of smog, destroyed by it's own creation as the auto plants moved to the suburbs and took the people with them. :( so much of the north side was torn down, sad. |
Very bottom of picture on the right side of the plaza with the column.
|
Is this a volcano and is it still active? Also, is that farming that they're doing on/in it?
Quote:
|
^That is the Xico cinder-cone located in the middle of Lake Chaco. It is believed to be extinct, all the land surrounding it has been reclaimed from the shallow lake (much like most of Mexico City). And yes, it is being farmed. It's SE of the DF.
|
Wow. Really amazing stuff. Thanks.
|
Edinburgh is studded with extinct volcanoes too, they built the castle on top of one of them. If there's one place that looks good from high up:

^^I love how the buildings are built at street level and follow the form of the roadway......

Recent Miami Aerial Photos!
SLO, I see where I've already sent you a couple of Miami aerials. I will send some more to post if you like. I appreciated the recent San Francisco aeriels because they showed me where One Rincon Hill was exactly in the skyline. I love the way it extends the San Francisco skyline all the way to the Transbay Bridge. :tup:

Some shots from: NewAtlantisMiami
Keep in mind probably half of the towers you see are brand new. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...fan/Miami3.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...fan/Miami8.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...fan/Miami9.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...fan/Miami7.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...an/Miami10.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...fan/Miami2.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...fan/Miami1.jpg |

I think that one with the dormant volcano stops everybody in their tracks. :yes:
|
It would've been an amazing setting for something palatial.
|
Kinda looks like a giant meteor hit the earth there....

I would have to say its probably a meteor hit. Sure is a cool photo. Good stuff.
